This 2010 drama-thriller, isn't the first of its kind. There have been scores of films and countless unfortunate situations that have been reported and seen lately. Living now in an instant gratification and socially technological society it is more difficult to build lasting and real relationships and those who know technology better than anyone else are the same ones that fall victim to perverted adults.

This version was carefully detailed and the acting by English heart-throb Clive Owen, Catherine Keener and teenage Liana Liberato all brought this story to life in a very special way. It wasn't just shining light on the crime, but instead delving into the family-life and home after all is said and done; how a family can change overnight and hope to heal after immense un-settling circumstances. Directed by David Schwimmer (whom you may remember as 'Russ' from the television series 'Friends') and lending her acting expertise Viola Davis (Oscar nominee and star in 'Doubt' and 'The Help' to name a few) this movie easily stood out from the others.

This film is disturbing to the max, has violence, adult language and sexual situations, but shows the shocking reality of what the modern-day teenager has to deal with. With a budget of $9 million USD, the film was expertly executed, however didn't make back even half at the box-office. Still, I find it's message and severity of the situation pertinent to all parents, families and those un-aware of the sick strangers lurking more closely than we dare to imagine.
