Clive Owen Looking To Catch A Predator
Clive Owen has a strange career. He's not interested in a character like Bond but thinks playing a Dad out to get the guy who sexually assaults his daughter is a "meatier" role. He never actually said that, I'm just imagining the pitch given to him over dinner:
"So Clive, you play a father who loves his family. Your daughter falls prey to an online sexual predator. The cops can't catch him. The FBI can't catch him. But you can. I'm telling you Clive, this might be your meatiest role yet!"
Yawn. Another movie about a dad out to avenge his daughter. Here is the synopsis which makes the movie sound like it belongs on the Oxygen channel.
David Schwimmer departs from his comedic roots in this harrowing drama that examines the build-up and aftermath of a teenager's (Liana Liberato) seduction by an online sexual predator. Clive Owen and Catherine Keener are perfectly cast as the grieving parents, but relative newcomer Liberato's slow-burning self-realization and climactic breakdown is undeniably heartrending.
Slow burning self-realization and climactic breakdown is undeniably heartrending. $50 some jerkwad fresh out of college wrote that synopsis. They don't even say her first name (It's Liana).
Anyway, here's the trailer. Try not to get too excited.
