4 out of 5 stars Several Good Ethical Issues to Discuss.......2006-03-14

For execution, this movie is probably lower than average; it is somewhat choppy, much too dark most of the time, and somewhat confusing. However, it deserves an "A" rating for raising ethical and religious issues that can be used to help form (teen's) character and values. The foremost would be: When is it one's Christian duty to help a criminal in need as opposed to turning him into the authorities? Was Laura really falling in love with Freddy, or unconsciously rebelling against her dad? When the pastor decided to call the police to turn Freddy in, what were his real motives for doing it? I did find it interesting that when the pastor prayed, much like many of the Psalms, he found the strength to do what he needed to do. This is a good movie for families concerned with traditional values to show to their teens and then discuss the various issues.
