What did you want from a teenager? I think Dak's father is too demanding of him, unlike his brother, who treats him normally. At least now I understand why his father treated him the way he did...

Great visuals. Was expecting a lot after watching the movie, which was a blast. Had some good ideas but I guess limited budget cut it short. Mid. Can skip and nothing would be missed from the movie.
