Welcome to 1000

Hick (2011)

Directed by Derick Martini this film based on the novel of the same name stars Chloe Grace Moretz, Blake Lively and Eddie Redmayne. Shortly after her 13th birthday a girl runs away from home and falls in with some bad people.

Generally this is supposed to be a coming of age tale but it is hard to see why after a run of terrible events things suddenly change for the better at the end. There are a number of changes from the novel and ultimately it is hard to see why this story is worth telling over any number of other coming of age films. Chloe Grace Moretz does well in the lead role but Eddie Redmayne is an odd choice to play a wannabe cowboy.


2/5
