Well honestly I didn't expect that kind of story when I read the title. With Child of God I expected something completely different. But I'm glad I watched it. In the beginning you kind of feel sorry for the main character Lester Ballard, because he's a bit of a retarded outcast, but at the end when you see what kind of sick bastard he is then the compassion you had for him is completely over. I thought Scott Blaze did a great job with his performance. He's playing his repulsive character brilliantly. I am glad I found the subtitles for this movie because even my wife who is American could hardly understand anything he said. So for me as a non-English speaker it's even harder to understand. James Franco gave us a good movie, certainly worth a watch if you are not quickly disturbed.
