Unexpectedly charming and creepy performance by Martin Sheen. Jodie Foster says more with her body-language and facial expressions than she does with her lines. The recurring theme of kids being at the arbitrary mercy of adults is done to perfection, without too much exposition. The sound-track is at times gripping and original and, sadly, at others stinks of '70s 'faux-hip'. One detraction is a pointless (but thankfully brief) nude scene that I fast-forward through. Overall, a wonderful film.
