COMMUNITY RATING
Based on the Joyce Carol Oates novella published in 2003, scripted by John Mankiewicz, the story is about an act of unbelievable brutality that twists the lives of three generations of women and sets a man of the law on his own course of justice. On the Fourth of July, Niagara Falls Police Officer John Dromoor (Samuel L. Jackson) is flagged down by 12-year-old Bethie Maguire (Abigail Breslin). Her mother, Teena Maguire (Graham), has been brutally raped and left for dead. Moving at a relentless, compelling pace, the story of Teena and Bethie unfolds in this powerful and thrilling drama.
