It's one of those, "watch it once, and never again" type of movies. It's pretty damn disturbing. I remember I bought it back in 2004 knowing nothing about it, and solely bought it bc of the cast alone. (Mos Def was huge back then) watched it once, and that was it. It's pretty fucked up.

when he starts rocking on that chair he is so angry inside. Very bleak and dark film but a very good one. Wouldn't get made today. He only asks two specific questions, the rest of the conversation is about getting inside the pedo's head, and the cop does one thing in the situation that he should not do - show or speak anger as he does at the end, "i don't know why they keep letting freaks like you out" but I guess its grizzly stuff and bound to happen. also, amazing camera work in this scene it's always slowly zooming in and out. the "do you believe in fairy tales ?" is a real cop doing his job, he already noticed in an earlier scene that Kevin Bacon's character loves fairy tales.

@Bill Patrick Jones I think the screenwriter wrote that part that way on purpose. It's so common that when you find out a person is a sex offender you imagine the person molesting a child or brutally raping a woman. When in certain cases an adult could have been arrested for just dating a minor 1 or 2 years under the legal age of consent.
