I would like to see this but I really can't handle major thriller tension.
As weird as it may sound, if I know how a tense film ends, I can relax and enjoy the experience. Would you be so kind as to tell me the ending; does the boy live?
Thanks much.
Ad hoc, Ad loc, Quid pro queeee,
So little time and so much to see
I can't help you as I haven't seen it and in terms of watching films I think quite the opposite: the more it surprises and "shocks" me, the better.
I just find your attitude to cinema quite intriguing and it's nice to see that in this age of "information overload" there are still people who can be genuinely emotionally affected by this old media, still (sorry if it's a condition you are not entirely comfortable with, I don't mean to sound insensitive).
Personally maybe I'm just a bit of a masochist .
Cheers
HA! By the way, if you are interested in this you should definitely check out "I'm not scared", if you haven't already seen it.
It's a thriller that has the same premise (an innocent child, lives in Southern Italy, parents are involved in a kidnapping): great cinematography and a haunting story, although it has been slightly toned down from the book it's based on.
In that one the ending is definitely happy: child lives, and so the kidnapped one.
yes, i saw non ho paura.it was pretty good.
p.s. can't you ask some of your friends if they saw flight of the innocent, and tell me??!!!
grazie mille

Oh how i wish i could save people from watching this film. It is sooooo cheesy, soo over the top, i wanted to laugh, as in a serge leone film, but unfortunately the director here was dead serious. arggggh. felt like a series of commercials. ALL it had going for it, and I mean ALL, was some beautiful scenery shots including some great Roman buildings. Other than that, if you are a sophisticated film goer,you will buck at the melodramatic schmaltz (both of the repeated shots of bloody murders, the slow motion shots of bloody deaths, and the light-filtering-in-the gauzy- child's- bedroom shots with the vaseline- coated lens.) Fortunately I could fast forward through all the stupid predictable dreck.If I save one person from watching this, i will feel so much better.

This one of the absurdest threads I ever read.
Anyway, in spite of the undeniable cheesiness of the movie I think you underestimate the director. Maybe Leone is not a bad starting point.

In my opinion I would have been better if the boy had died in the end, like all innocence must die or something.
