This movie definitely doesn't deserve such a poor rating. However, I agree with some of the other comments that the stakes weren't high enough. The person she chose was truly awful, so there's not really a moral dilemma there. What about if she had to kill three people? Then a greater dilemma is introduced: is the life of a child worth 3 lives? How about if she had to kill another child in order for the sacrifice to be equivalent? Good movie, but could've been great.
