the flock be unjustly malign a a less se7en ripoff . there really no reason to compare the two and except maybe for the similar scenery in the final showdown . now that that out of the way i will go into why the flock be very interesting in some respect . mostly it a drama piece rather than a full blown thriller about a very vigilant social worker who monitor sexual offender . at the very begin you can clearly see his work have get the good of him . evident in two scene where first he interview an offender and slap him around and second when a woman try to pick him up and all he can think of be his standard question from his questionnaire . gere be very good a errol babbage and the aforementioned social worker . his way of perform his job be not unlike that of a police officer and he carry a gun and be constantly check newspaper and supply law official with information if some of his flock may be responsible for a sexual crime . he also a person who lose all happiness of living and his only relief seem to come from exact his own vigilante justice on his flock . twice you see him smile and once when he apologize for treat his partner rudely and the other after he beat up a member of his flock . a a suspense flick and the flock isn not a successful . somewhat confusing and with some irritating plot hole but it do have a number of strike set piece . overall the flock be a solid drama about a man perform a dehumanize job and in the end he have to work hard to keep from be swallow by the abyss he surround himself in . the world we live in be a pretty sick place and the further one can distance himself from the bad the happier that person be . the flock get that point across nicely .
