My 6-year old son LOVED this film! As a black boy he really saw himself in this story and it's so rare that black boys are the hero. Seth Carr who plays the lead role is an excellent actor and it was very well cast, with the producers showing real diversity in the cast. It felt very natural and the story was good. OK it's predictable, what do you expect for a U-rated film? But my son followed the plot easily and it was funny, nail-biting etc when it needed to be. I've watched far worse all-white films so people shoudl stop complaining, it's not meant to be 'War and Peace'. The only letdown was the role of the Dad. Allowing the suspension of disbelief that he could be white, the actor was so wooden he could be mistaken for a table leg. That aside, I say 'bravo' to Netflix and please, please, PLEASE can we have more black boys as the hero in films - it's much needed!!!
