The Stranger

"They're so fucking delicate, people," one of Jack's new friends muses after the two of them save a young girl from a car crash. You can't help falling in love with Jack's big brown eyes, eager face, and his sincere stammer. Jack grew up in an English prison after being party to a hideous crime as a boy. He's been released but isn't remotely free. The suspense telescopes into the past and the future as we learn what he did and whether he can live a normal life. The last three minutes of Boy A are mawkish crap, but everything else is perfect. (See movie times, www.thestranger.com, for details.)
