This movie is truly an excellent and original movie that is exceedingly difficult to describe. To say that it's a modern day retelling of Little Red Riding Hood doesn't do it justice. It's twisted to be sure, violent yes, but it's also incredibly funny at times and disturbing at times - often at the same time. While we all know the story since we've heard it a number of times during childhood, you honestly have no idea where this movie is going from one minute to the next. Viewing this movie in light of the subsequent career of Reese Whitherspoon it's obvious that this girl has always been able to act. Kiefer Sutherland is brilliant as well. Brittney Murphy has a nice little role. Honestly, this is a must see movie. It's incredible.

The film follows a disturbed young man who kills without remorse. It is surprisingly disturbing considering the period in which it was filmed. After killing a bus driver, the baby faced young man seeks refuge in a bar and holds its patrons hostage. All he wants is to see the psychiatrist who committed him three years before. The film is notable for its stark and unflinching portrayal of someone completely unable to feel remorse. The film is also notable as it was one of the first movies put out by MGM under new management which turned the company away from solely making big budget events. This B-movie thriller marked a new territory for MGM. It is well-worth watching - IF you can find it!

Garfield stars in this terrific filming of Hemingway's To Have and To Have Not. It is much more faithful than Faulkner's re-working of Hemingway's original novel-Hemingway is said to have liked this version better. Garfield is a boat captain almost without means. He is desparate for money and agrees to transport illegal cargo. Events spin out of control and push him beyond his breaking point. Terrific movie. One of Garfield's last efforts.
