Absolutely brilliant!! Enjoy!!

A media frenzy erupts when a 12-year-old boy kills a guard at a detention centre. He calls up a radio station to give his version of events and America and the media believe his claim of self-defence. A stranger, meanwhile, is determined to stop him from benefiting from his father's funds.

An excellent "hunt" thriller where the fugitive is a boy. Really gripping to the very end. I thought it was very convincing with regard to the psychology of the boy. Though the presentation and motivations of the adults, particularly the policemen seemed very simplistic. Is North American society really that crass and simplistic? Do people really fear for their jobs so much? I hope the police force isn't really as crap as it is portrayed. I have a horrible feeling it might be. I'm very glad that we don't have armed "bobbies" on the beat here in the UK. I'd also like to think their detective work is considerably better.
