**1/2 - This is a rather strange Peter Jackson-helmed film about how it’s apparently okay to rape and murder 14-year old girls because they’ll go to heaven and everyone they knew will have happy and productive lives afterwards. I’m going to assume that that is not the idea that the makers of this wanted to convey, but it certainly is how it comes across. While it is well shot and contains some lovely CG backgrounds and effects, I’m not sure I could necessarily recommend it for all audiences. This is probably Mark Wahlberg’s best performance since “Boogie nights”, but I’m not sure how he still gets so much work.
