this movie really leave me think . but not about the plot and the direction and the character and an underlying message and or a clever script . far from it . i be leave wonder what in sam hill go wrong behind the scene . clearly and something be badly amiss from the beginning . i be amaze at the positive comment for the movie and for jodie foster performance . from the get go it be clear that foster have phone this one in . one early comment even make a favorable mention of her facial expression . i must have be watch a different movie since m foster ( usually a personal favorite ) seem to be totally disinterested . in one of his first scene with foster and fred ward look a though he and also and be distract by her lack of energy and he struggle to deliver his own line with any enthusiasm . by the time he call upon to take part in a supposedly desperate search for runaway foster and ward also seem to have become embarrassingly half hearted about the project . in my opinion and dennis hopper have always be a uni dimensional performer and so i wasn not expect much from him . and he deliver . yes and this one leave me think long after it end . the fact that joe pesci and charlie sheen refuse to have their name attach to the project suggest that this be a real stinker for everyone involve . but to then learn that the director prefer to hide behind a pseudonym speaks volume . but why listen to me . i always think foster look ridiculous in a dress and yet she sensational in lacy underwear .
