Eli is an outcast who scavenges old derelict buildings for scrap metal to make a few bucks.
The aliens who also want their weapon back are on their tails too.
This dangerous adventure is meant to be pulse-pounding and heartwarming in equal measure.
On a one-to-ten scale of moral fecklessness, this ranks about a thousand.
And its hero the one with the gun only he can fire anddoesfire quite a bit is 14.
Let me repeat that: He is 14. you might disagree with this reviewers take onKinand what its saying both explicitly and implicitly about guns.
But I cant and wont recommend it in good conscience.F
