| Robert de nero may be wishing he'd declined the opportunity to appear in this rambling dribble. The acting was actually OK all round but the story wasn't remotely gripping and by the end I really didn't care what happened to any one in the film. Dull, 4 out of 10, if Im being generous. zzzzzzzzz zzzzzz |

| This has got to be the worst film i have watched this year. The title hasn't got anything to do with the film the boy turns into a killer how is he a 'godsend!' And yes towards the end i wasn't bothered about what happened, crap and on the advert they try & hype it up it's rubbish! |
