Year: 2016

Genre: Drama, romance, sci-fi

IMDB score: 7

My score: 6,5

Remark: Another movie I bought during our recent trip to the UK. I remember the times that this movie was in the cinema. I heard mixed reviews back then. The most common thing I heard that it had too much focus on the romantic story. 

I was still curious to see this one and was happy to buy the DVD. And I get the comments, yeah there is a focus on the romantic part of the movie. I still thought it was entertaining. Though there were just a few thing not logical to me/ not adding up. Some were explained along the movie. Overall, I thought it was nice movie!

Remark: If you hear the title Never Take Candy From A Stranger, you can probably guess what's this movie is about. It's about a pedophile who lures children with candy. But in this case, the man is a part of the town's most powerful family. 

It's a strong movie about a subject I haven't seen a lot of movies about. I thought the movie was very impressive. There's a lot tension. But you also feel disbelief about hoe everything goes.
