A twisted take on 'Little Red Riding Hood' with a teenage juvenile delinquent (Reese Witherspoon) on the run from a social worker traveling to her grandmother's house and being hounded by a charming, but sadistic, serial killer / pedophile (Kiefer Sutherland).
I really thought this would be good, as it stars one of my favorite Sutherlands. And, you know, he is really good in it, but that did not save the film. Actually, most of those involved were really good. It was more the plot and script that seemed messy and convoluted. The "Red Riding Hood" aspect is very small, and this seems to be more in the vein of "Natural Born Killers", though not nearly as good.
I suppose it is worth a watch, especially now that Witherspoon is huge star. But it is far from the best film she has done.
