  [Highly rated reviewer]

  Quite disturbing yet not as good as it could have been

  This movie did disturb me - the story are about a really disturbing issue.
  
  Most of the viewers complain the movie had a very bad pace, to few twist turns. I both agreed and disagreed here, yes when watching the movie you know who's 'dunnit' way to early but I loved the pace. In my eyes they really made time to make you loath the bad guys and feel repulsed by the idea what they did to those poor girls.
  
  Richard gere was holding back a little too much, but I often find he's perfect for these roles. Maybe he did not put of a good performance, but he was just made for the role. Claire Danes didn't impress me in this movie. You kind of get the idea they used her for eye candy above everything else.
  
  The first 80 minutes of the movie were quite decent in my eyes but the last 20 minutes were a bit of a disappointment. They seemed to be a bit over the top.
  
  Still I wouldn't liked missed it !!!

  The Flock

  And interesting offering and one of Richard Gere's better performances as he turns up as over zealous public protection officer Errol Babbage who investigates and keeps tabs on registered sex offenders.A month away from retiring he is asked to train Allison Lowry (Claire Danes) but is rude and initially hostile as he turns his anger on to her . Forced into retirement by his bosses who see his methods as heavy handed and unorthadox he sees Allison as a thorn in his side , especially as 17 year old Harriet Wells ( Kristina Sisco) goes missing and he is convinced he knows who may have snatched her and Allison is keen to play things by the book.
  
  Gere has certainly improved with age an he gives a believable performance as the wordly wise Babbage and Danes gives some solid support as the two officers are forced to enter the seedy underworld of sexual deviancy and peversion to try and catch the perpetrators of the kidnap and find harriet before it's too late. Not for the easily offended among us but an hypnotic and interesting watch that's something a little different from the usual thriller
