This movie hopelessly knots two story threads together in the hopes of producing a tapestry. It needs more yarn. He's an up-and-coming boxer, who metes out justice to child abusers. If you were hoping for any hook, or twist or wrinkle, other than those cited in an outdated copy of "The Big Book of Making Made-For-TV Movies," it ain't there. All the technical aspects are in place, but the set-ups, the plot points, the characters actions and the acting are utterly obvious. It has the depth of a softcore porn movie.
Note to student film makers. NEVER hand the screen writing duties over to someone who has completed ONE screenwriters workshop.
I imagine that the author wrote this after seeing a similar (but much more deft) plot thread in L.A. Confidential. The movie's site describes it as a morality tale. Probably most useful to those in the audience who are up-and-coming boxers and also secret child abuser vigilantes.
Special mention goes to the horrible acting and ridiculous scenes with the lawyer character.
