Review of The Woodsman (2004) by Sean S — 20 Nov 2007
By far Kevin Bacon's best performance yet. Very touchy subject matter especially if your a parent yourself. One can easily see why no studio wanted to finance this film, and they had to get the cash from friends etc.
Bacon's character get's released from jail after serving 12 years for child molestation. He gets a chance to start over with a new job and love interest. But can he really change and will he?
Movie did make me feel uncomfortable at stages as it's very in your face about the subject matter, which is a good thing since most people just act like it doesn't exist. Hopefully this will be in SA soon, probably next year, but a must see.
