Drama - This drama with some mystical elements is adaptation of the best
selling novel of the same name. While there is some mild violence,
language, and scary moments and images, it would be considered safe
family viewing in general though parents of very young children should
use discretion. There are no big name stars in the cast.
PROFANITY: 3 S-words; a few others. SEX/NUDITY: None. VIOLENCE: Fights, shootings with minimal to no blood. DRUGS/ALCOHOL: Some alcohol and tobacco. ACTION: A chase. COMEDY: Some kid humor.
Roger EbertFull Review Excellent Carl Franklin's film is true to the tone and spirit of the book. It is patient and in no hurry. It allows a balanced eye for the people in its hero's family who tug him one way and another.
