My rating: 8/10
Will I watch it again? Maybe.
I haven't seen this in ages and I'd forgotten how good it was. The performances are very good. This might be the only picture I've seen Furlong in where I didn't have any issues with his acting. I'm shocked. The story is well handled and I especially like the interspersing of the back story along with what's happening currently. That curb stomp still makes me cringe. Good score from Anne Dudley. The ending surprised me again (thanks, memory). It's a powerful film. I've never understood why people hate. The New Line DVD sports a nice anamorphic widescreen print with the only extras being 3 deleted scenes and the theatrical trailer.
