A gripping and emotional drama

This movie, involving a modern-day type of crime but with a subtle twist, draws you in and holds you till the last. You cannot tell what the outcome will be, but it keeps you guessing. The characters alternately make you feel sorry for them and hate them, and the children are well played throughout. Makes you wary of taking internet encounters too seriously, even though that's not really how the criminal secures his victim. Rated 15 correctly in our view.
