  Another great character study from Richard Gere as a man emotionally scarred by 18 years of dealing with society's most depraved individuals. Some very ... read more »

  Excellent
  
  This was an excellent film, though a very disturbing subject. The acting was superb and was glued to the set through the whole movie.
