Tomlin lets tension flag without really clinching the poignantly universal humanist message intended. Which in the end just makes this an initially solid, then somewhat disappointing genre piece whose pretensions are out of its weight class
lead Chloe Grace Moretz inject enough emotional stakes to keep you invested; Mattson Tomlin competently directs, and the cast engenders empathy well, but this is a well-worn battle fought many times over within this subgenre
