...best, its paranoia and its plotting are fairly plausible and, despite its obligations to thriller conventions, it says something pretty truthful about what it's like to be young and neglected these days. Finally, in Brad Renfro the filmmakers have a real find -- a tough, appealing kid whose instinct is not to beg for sympathy but to let it accrue to him naturally...
