While the Wolf's Away

An ordinary film, with a thriller twist, in which we follow a group of kids in a reformatory, but it's clear from the start that something is wrong. Not a groundbreaking idea, it kind of feels like everything seen here has been seen a few times before elsewhere and in a more entertaining way. But it’s a watchable average that it’s incredibly sunk by the excessive running time. The characters are okay, the story is predictable, and the direction is not exactly a cinematic masterpiece either. I could have skipped the film, because it doesn't bring much to the viewer.
