Dark, brooding and heavy. When you think you've seen it all...you haven't. Pretty intense movie until the "over-the-top" finale. Richard Gere turns in a strong performance. Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell write a very intense story of a diligent Department of Safety employee Erroll Babbage(Gere), who is being edged out of his job. He has spent his entire career tracking sex offenders, and his unorthodox operating procedure is almost as rough and brutal as the criminals he monitors. While Babbage is training his replacement Allison Lowry(Claire Danes),he is convinced that a missing girl is linked to one of his "flock", those deviants he monitors. Erroll and his naive female partner will make an unofficial investigation into the S&M underground in search of the missing local teen. High-octane, sensational and disturbing. Danes is not called upon to show her acting chops, but sure looks fine. Also in the cast: KaDee Stickland, Russell Sams, Ray Wise and singer Avril Lavigne.
