OLIVER TWIST is one of the best of 2005, but the violence and tragedy demand a caution for young children. Thus, it rebukes both legalism and lawlessness in favor of gentle God-given Grace. The climax comes, however, when the grace in Oliver's heart leads him to plead to God for mercy and forgiveness for Fagin.

Directed with skill, the movie beautifully contrasts the goodness within Oliver, plus the goodness of his benefactor and Sykes' girlfriend, with the villainy threatening them. This OLIVER TWIST wonderfully manages to heighten the jeopardy. Things go from bad to worse, and Sykes threatens Oliver's very life. When Oliver gets caught by the police and rescued by a gentleman benefactor, Fagin and his evil cohort Bill Sykes plan to kidnap Oliver and rob the benefactor. Destitute in the big city, Oliver gets impressed into a gang of young thieves, led by an elderly, wily criminal named Fagin. In this well-known story, a poor young orphan in Victorian England makes his painful way to London after being abused in a workhouse and an undertaker's shop. OLIVER TWIST is a beautifully realized, slightly theatrical movie version of the novel by Charles Dickens.
