Review by Jordan, 11

3 stars

I thought that this film was a little bit boring and dragged on in the middle but some parts were abit emotional and made me very teary especially the part at the end when he finally see's his parents again. I'm giving it 3 stars not 2 because I thought the storyline was genius. My favourite character was Jim because you follow about 3-4 years of his life and really get to know him. He shows courage, bravery and determination towards everything he did and there was plenty of enjoyable action in this film. The only issue was the length of the film because I think it could of been a little shorter.
