Query: Very convincing portrayals by Sally Field and Kiefer Sutherland.

If acting is all about convincing us to believe the characters being portrayed, then this film is a great example. Both Sally Field and Kiefer Sutherland give outstanding performances. From the terror of a mother on the phone with her daughter who is being attacked and then killed, to disgust at the jerk who is responsible. The pain of seeing him walk away on a technicality, and the frustration of knowing he could easily kill again. This movie falls into my category of "films that make me yell at the TV". Yes, I was eager for anybody to run this guy over. Which is a good sign that what I am watching is very believable.I give it five stars, and highly recommend it. Just be prepared to really loathe the bad guy, and want the mom to release a pack of wild dogs on him.
