"You raped a holy thing. You destroyed that young girl. And she forgives you. Ya hear that? She forgives you." No, this is not the watered-down, loosely-related film released a year or two ago that starred Nick Cage. This stars Harvey Keitel, and is a tense, well-acted drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The biggest flaw here is that the movie is really, really depressing (no witty one-liners here, or epic action sequences). Still, try to see it when it next comes on Independent Film Channel (IFC; if you have Dish Network, it's channel 131). DO NOT rent it from Blockbuster: this version is edited to remove some drug use, which unintentionally removes vital plot elements, making this version confusing to watch.
Rating: 89/100
