This is the story of three boys who are separated by the tragedy of one of them being abducted and abused only to be brought together again by the murder of one of their children as adults.

This is a powerful story directed by Clint Eastwood.

anyone who enjoys great acting and suspense.

all the acting, but especially Kevin Bacon and Tim Robbins. Tim Robbins gives one of the best performances I've ever seen.

Sean Penn. He chews the scenery and overacts. I think he is as overrated as Kevin Bacon is underrated. He is the last one I would have given an Oscar to in this fine film.

cry.

so sad and sort of lost. It is a powerful story about assumptions that we make about those we love.

is excellent. I can't stand Sean Penn and he is the major star of it. Still, he didn't get in the way of a fine movie for once.

it is an amazingly moving story. I would say it is worth seeing even though the story is disturbing. Tim Robbins' performance is the best of his career and one of the best I've ever seen in a movie.

The ending is hard to take because of the feeling I had for Tim Robbins' character of Dave. It is just hard to get over it and everything that happens. It is disturbing and one that is not soon forgotten.
