L² Comment:

Well, this is not those epic movie, but the story is quite nice, quite real for those mother. Uma Thurman looks so aunty, haha... well, she should looks like that in this movie. What i don't like about this movie, is the pace... Some parts are quite bored actually and the exciting part don't really create the moment for this movie too...
