I saw this film in Jan. 2004, at the Sundance Film Festival. This is for sure the best work I have seen Kevin Bacon in yet. The subject matter is serious and intense, and I believe he plays the role very sensitively, with great emotion. This is not a movie about a pedophile, but rather the struggles the character deals with as he is thrown back into society after 12 long years in prison. Highly recommended!

I went to the Sundance Film Festival this year (2004), and out of the 12 films I saw, this was one of my favorites. A great story, and the characters are so well developed, you really felt for them. The script was well written, and scenes in Columbia and New York were amazing. Overall, it was a great story, so hopeful and alive. Can't wait to see it again!

This movie was pure trash!!! I took my 5 year old cousin to watch it... and all I kept wanting to do is cover her ears between the sexual innuendos and the spelling out of curse words. Mike Myers was so sad to watch... he just cannot get enough of that silly Scottish accent of his from the Austin Powers movies, so he has to throw it in here too! Is this man not getting enough work in Hollywood or what?

Overall, this movie was unbearable to watch. I do NOT recommend this to any child..... or even to my worst enemy!
