worth a watch, but severly overrated
the scenes with the little kids are by far the best
boyle does a great job directing and the unique gameshow flashback narrative method is a great idea, but the acting and story are a little iffy at times
also, the ending does not tie in with the tone of the rest of the film at all
very cliche all throughout
bout a 3/5 stars for me

don't get me wrong, it definitely was feel-good, but this is not an oscar-calibre film apart from the direction
