4/10
A Glorified Mess

Warning: Spoilers
The movie itself was done adequately, if you ask me. The drama was good, the conflict was on point, the plot was fine. Then what's with the considerably low rating, you ask? Oh, it's because I don't like stories which end up as a big pile of poop. Yeah, there were so many problems in this movie that didn't come with any good solutions. Strike one, there's Jim who slept with Whetu while having a girlfriend. He never sorted it out with his girlfriend. Then there's Whetu's rape case which never got any justice, just like his lame school who defended bullies. What a crappy school and a crappy law system they have? That's strike two. Then there's Jim's boxing career which didn't got any closure. Did he continue to pursue his dream or not? The ending was unclear about that. That's strike three for me. And the thing that I don't like the most is that they packed this story as a beautiful drama. Which is a HUGE lie! Cause all I get from this movie is the conclusion that life sucks. And I don't need to watch this movie to get it, cause I face that fact everyday! I don't need it from my source of entertainment! When I watch a movie, I expect to get some closure and justice! Not a reminder of how sucky this life can be. So if you feel the same way about life like I do, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!
