I don't know where to start telling what I liked best about this movie. I begin with the cast. Louis Gossett jr. is good but there were two others who kept my attention. Joseph Mazzello is simply great (is there a film he isn't great in?) and makes one believe how Charlie develops from hating Walter to realizing that he is (with Tessa) the loveliest person he knows and the one who cares most for him. And I was astonished seeing another actor doing such a fine job while I didn't even know his name before. William Fichtner is so excellent at being cruel and he also shows us that the sheriff cares about Charlie as well and that he isn't absolutely evil. I liked the music, too. That funny melody while Walter repairs his farm and especially the music when he gets up from reading and decides to look for Charlie who's out in the darkness and the rain. I wish it had been shown at the movies so I could buy the soundtrack. See it for yourself to decide if you like the story as much as I do!
