Review by Jon
'Watchable' - Rating out of 100 - 30

Straight to DVD. It had all the potential of being rubbish, but instead did well to take a trite plot and make it 'OK' to watch.

Sadistic, troubled small town rich kid (representing all that is wrong with society) shoots nice old man's dog for fun while impressing his friends. Nice old man is war veteran widower who stands for truth and justice.(representing all that's right with society)

Watch the cheese ooze out of your DVD player as it tries to read the disk.

However, for such a deliberately corny plot and the predictable events the film offers, it saves itself by being  well acted, the dialogue is good and consequently the film remained quite believable.

A 'middle of the week' movie, take it or leave it.
