    Subject matter aside, I didn't realise what a great actor Timothy Spall is.

    Poignant, but a tad drawn out I felt. Just my opinion.

    Jesus, Kelsen...

    I was so upset. I just couldnt imagine that happening to my son. I'd move heaven and earth to make sure such a fate never befell him.

    I mean, aquamarine AND a side-parting...?

    Maybe that's Youtube conditions us to expect everything in 30 second bursts.

    Very nicely and subtly done. Felt it tackled an obviously emotive subject without being too sentimental or mawkish.

    Nicely done, Spall's amazing as always.

    Tedious.

    Not wanting to get into an argument about it -- it's just my reaction to watching it -- but I thought it was about 5 minutes too long and about as subtle as a brick. It got marginally better towards the end.

    Rubbish Sky router streaming meant I've seen about 3 minutes of it. Will try again later. I really should get my D-Link router hooked up, its got a signal strong enough to fry an egg on.

    Couldn't help noticing that in a lot of the footage boy is cycling on the wrong side of the road....no wonder he got hit!




    What, too soon?

    I thought there was screeching brakes in a few clips....which I interpreted as him being hit.....

    Underwhelmed. Maybe it was overhyped.

    Yeah, the lack of explosions and gore didn't help. Can't wait for the Michael Bay Hollywood version ;)
