The Lovely Bones (2009) 9/10

Starring : Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Saoirse Ronan, Stanley Tucci
Director : Peter Jackson
Running Time : 136 mins

When Susie Salmon (Ronan) is brutally murdered by child abductor George Harvey (Tucci), she finds herself possessing the ability to watch over her family and she has to decide between communicating with them in order to help them find her killer, or to just leave them to cope with her death in thier own way.

This was actually incredibly good; not one of the actors in this adaptation can be flawed in their performances. My one gripe is Jackson’s overuse of CGI throughout the movie, making it appear that he felt that the story alone couldn’t carry the film. Still, this is a fantastic thriller with a satisfying ending and some great performances.
