Anyone see this yet? It stars Kevin Bacon as a pedophile trying to turn his life around....had a great cast, including Eve, Mos Def, David Alan Grier, Carlos Leon (yes, Madonna's ex!), and a very powerful performance by Mrs. Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick (she should have been nom'd for Supporting Actress). As much as I love Kevin B. (Walter), I found no sympathy for his character at all....one scene that really got to me was when Walter spoke with a little girl in the park. He asked her if she wanted to sit on his lap and she initially said no, then she tearfully shared how her daddy always has her on his lap when no one else is around. His reaction to her story was very powerful, as he witnessed firsthand the devastation of what a child goes through when their innocence is taken away by such a horrific act.

Oh SBG, I've wanted to see this! I see so many films, most of which are a waste of time, and this is one I really wanted to see but didn't. I'll have to catch it on DVD--but I heard that Bacon is amazing in the role and, if this had not been such a strong year for actors, he would have been nominated for an Oscar for his part.

I saw this before it came out in theaters. It was disturbing, but interesting. To see this from his point of view was eye opening. I would have been like his sister in the film. Great acting by Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick. Disturbing, but captivating.
