Adopted

This movie wasn't great but was entertaining enough to keep my interest. This was a basic done before plot structure . Killer foster kid deceives everyone into thinking he is an innocent kid before he starts killing. This was sort of a Mikey rip off without the clever kills. This kid was too obvious and sloppy as depicted in the end. It started out really well and kept my attention. The problem was they used guns too much they were definitely going for a California liberal anti gun message but instead created a message about proper gun storage ( which I support) and if that was the intention I give it one more star. Anyhow the movie started out good but fell flat in the 3rd act. They should have been more creative with the story. This movie was a decent watch but could have been better.

Besides the major jumps in timeline, the acting was atrocious! The young man who plays the kid is so unbelievable. I don't usually slam the acting ability of kids, but he was horrible. Not unlike the adults. The plot was so lackluster, no skin in the game for character development or any believability.

Of course, watched the whole thing because it was literally just on for background noise, so you know if I noticed how bad it was with it just being background, it was horrible.

Most unbelievable story line. I mean, if you're going to write a movie about something that COULD be real, at least make it believable how it could happen. Pathetic excuse for a movie.

This movie is a joke.. but the only problem is it's not supposed to be!

The Good Son meets Chucky, meets Orphan... lol...

The ENTIRE plot is pretty much given away in the trailer.. though it is so formulaic and predictable you would've guessed it anyways!

Its only redeeming quality is that the production value is actually not bad for a movie likely filmed on an iPhone. The acting, is INCREDIBLY bad, especially that little kid, who is easily the worst child actor I've ever seen in a movie! I have seen scraped together YouTube movies that have more of an interesting plot and better acting than this movie. I even noticed they use YouTube devices like the BOOM sound effect when someone says something "dramatic".

It is actually entertaining in a way... In that you're laughing continually at just how bad this movie is!

This movie was'nt all that bad .But the acting was terrible and the dialogue was cheesy. For starters the parents that adopted the young boy in this film were so corny i could'nt wait for the little boy to off them myself . Plus it seemed a bit unrealistic the main character whose supposed to be 10 years old is a calculating psycopathic killer and a crack shot with a hand gun. Especially the part where he shoots his original parents both between the eyes and then burns down the house in broad daylight ? What nobody in the area saw that ? A bit hard to believe. My hats of to the main character playing the child psycopath character Jayden Aguirre . I actually gave it 3 stars because i liked the scenery the California sunshine and all that.

Ignore the naysayers completely.

This was hilariously fluffy all the way, while the tyrannical psychotic little kid delivered in Spades.

Sweet as apple pie on the outside...and an utterly rotten apple inside.

This was well plotted and paced and the shocks and hits just keep coming one after another, and those on the naive clueless delivery end step into it all very nicely so to speak for this kind of film.

Think of a Chucky in the flesh who is cuter, funnier, far more charming...and who is certainly as self-centered and chillingly ruthless. Again, ignore the naysayers... If you like these kind of films, then this is one you'll certainly remember.

The kid nailed it...
