Negative Positive
Title: good performances, tight script
Review: Michael Ontkean and Pamela Reed give compelling performances in this tightly tailored telefilm. Centering on a released rapist (Ontkean) who resides in a rural town, the script does a good job of trying to see the situation from various points of view--that of the convicted felon, the parole officer, the neighbors. The tale holds your interest and makes you think. It's not heavy on the melodrama, but instead gives the serious nature of the story room to breathe.
