This is a very disturbing film. It deals with the human psyche and how it can be used as a weapon. Robert DeNiro is totally brilliant (isn't he usually?) in this psychological thriller. Also starring Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange and Juliette Lewis, this is a film that will keep you on the edge of your seat. DeNiro is a man who has just been released from prison after being convicted of rape and Nolte is the man who was his Public Defender and who may have withheld some evidence that could have resulted in DeNiro's acquittal. As you may imagine, DeNiro's character is not very happy with Nolte's character. Nolte's wife, superbly played by Jessica Lange and his daughter, excellently done by Juliette Lewis, are also terrorized. I found this film to be disturbing because it deals with a mentally unbalanced person using psychological attacks to bring down a sane family. It is both believable and scary. There is little actual violence, but it isn't needed. There's plenty of suspense. I liked this film very much. You will too.
