A family in their quest for the treatment of their two children with a rare genetic disorder, which causes accumulation of glycogen in vital organs leading to enlargement and then failure. Faced with life changing decision, the family sacrifices and take risk in their journey. The film brought up two main factors, one is the public awareness of such a genetic disorder and second is the family struggle due to the same.
Harrison Ford characterizes an eccentric scientist with a break through idea for a cure for Pompe disease but without adequate to proceed. He has his own problems in life due to his eccentricities, mainly, short temper. In this movie, it shows how all these factors and personalities culminate together to a hope filled ending
Special mention to the two kids who acted as the sufferers of Pompe disease. It looked so natural as I first thought that they were real sufferers who lent support to act in a movie to raise awareness. But not so and it showed their superb acting skill.
My personal rating is 3 out of 5
