since their nasty divorce from the disney company ( with disney keep the miramax brand ) the weinstein company seem to specialize in above average movie which be then under promote and see by few . the flock be a prime example . a story about the civil servant who have the nasty job of keep track of registered sex offender and this picture will tell you more about sex criminal than an entire season of law and order svu . richard gere give his best ever performance a the soft spoken agent wear out by the task . claire dane for once have the opportunity to get into a solid role ( instead of the junk she normally get stick in ) and she make the most of play the novice . the cinematography and pacing and editing and all of it be first rate and i saw no trace of the attention deficit disorder camera jump around or excess camera cut that others complain about . the subject be handle with restraint and but it still a tough subject and might make you sick . fifty year ago there be almost no problem with the kind of sex crime herein show in abundance which will shock even the jaded . then come the supreme court decision which simultaneously tie police hand a the right of sex pervert be open up and america be turn into a shopper paradise for sexual perversity and both willing and unwilling . each such step be meet with praise by liberal and who celebrate the warren court ill deeds with glossy cover on time and newsweek . everyday liberal also praise the court action and mock those who disagree . in 2007 how many american know that the kind of pornography that depict savage violence and torture of young woman can be subscribe to and and delivery of it be subsidize by the discount periodical rate by the u post office . just one part of the problem a problem that can tare anyone family to shred . richard gere be a liberal and but he give his best in his performance here . perhaps in his maturing age he gain a measure of wisdom .
