Even with actors like Karl Malden and Paul Sorvino this is a dismal attempt.
It basically adds up to a sales pitch for the psychiatric drug Lithium. Every ten minutes the Holly Hunter character repeats that the kid who killed her sister is on Lithium, so he is incapable of violence.
This piece of crap would get the approval of the drug company that makes Lithium, but the movie stinks.
Everyone except the kid who killed the girl is painted as a villain. What a screwed up attempt by whoever wrote the script for this lame pitch for psychiatric drugs.
