Hitting Home(Obsessed) is one of those rare movies that was actually better than the book it was based on - in this case, Hit and Run. As a film, it's really effective - particularly in the fact that it leaves the viewer feeling sympathy for both the "protagonist", Dina Middleton (the mother of the kid who was killed) and the "antagonist", Owen Hughes (the guy who ran the kid over). Neither of them fit firmly into the "antagonist" or "protagonist" category - both of them do some pretty despicable things over the course of the drama.
I still remember the scene where the kid (Alex Middleton) was graphically dragged. It's shocking and surprisingly well done for a made for TV film.
My main complaint would be that the political drama regarding extradition tends to feel thrown in as opposed to a major plot point.
Well worth a watch if you can find it.
