Great character study and the best acting of his career from Kevin Bacon. A thoughtful movie about a person recently out of prison trying to get back into normal life. The beauty of the movie is that it neither portraying him as a hero, nor as a villain. He is simply a person, who knows how bad he is, and is trying to battle the demons inside him. A somewhat weak story (though not the focus of the movie) brings it down to an 8.

you got to be a damn good actor to play a pedophile like kevin bacon does in this movie, it may be an unlikeable subject, but you're not supposed to like it. great movie, even if it's a iffy subject.

Pretty good flick about a guy learning to live after prison. Kevin Bacon does a good job and Kyra Sedgewick has a very nice body.

An interesting, dramatic character study with a great performance from Kevin Bacon.

A movie with very touchy subject matter. There were points in the movie when I'd say to myself "Why is that cop giving him such a hard time?" Then I remember what Bacon is portraying. It's a worthwhile viewing. I almost cried at the scene on the bench (and I'm not easily shaken).

Bacon does fantastically in his presentation of a paedophile fighting his urges. An interesting display of the other side of the story for someone who understands what's right and struggles to overcome their urges without disgrace.

A simple, average movie that just happens to have an incredible performance.
1	Corleone	65 _53rd
Powerhouse performance from Bacon but that's pretty much it. The plot is predictable and follows a well established path and it kinda felt too rushed and short to deal with such a serious issue. The movie could make a better use of Def's and Shannon's characters.
1	Piglet	80 _91st
Bacon manages to get sympathy as a paedophile man struggling with his "disease". A strong, emotional movie.
1	Anselmi86	86 _81st
Fantastic film. Mos Def truly defines himself as an actor. Kevin Bacon gives the best performance of his life which easily should have won him an Oscar.

AMAZING acting by pretty much everyone, totally brave storyline, and a quiet hopeful ending. Not a happy ending, but good enough.
