Has a lot going for it. The dialogue is sharp, the photography is fantastic (excellent use of shadows), and the cast is superb. Blyth is great as the rottenest child you're likely to see. But the plot falls short of greatness: it's watchable, but doesn't offer much that lingers with you. The voice-over is also really overdone and utterly fake in context (it's hard to swallow someone using such flowery prose during a police interrogation). Worth a watch, but not a keeper.
