Steve D @RT35616104 Feb 20, 2023 Glenn is great but the story is too childish for the material. See more Jun 20, 2018 Scott Glenn, often taciturn and by way of his acting, very inward looking presents a steely figure as both an FBI agent and father to young Jesse, who as the plot unwinds is taken by the pedophile/serial killer/religious zealot that the FBI is tracking. Save for the glorious absurdity of an ark being built in a cave in the dry Utah mountains, the film presents an almost believable father/son relationship strained by loss and a cross country move. Violent at times, but not gory by current standards, the chills and thrills here are played as Glenn does best: understated and emotionally reserved. See more Aug 4, 2014 Underrated made for hbo b movie. Glenn is excellent as usual! See more Jan 13, 2012 Despite the fact that a seasoned FBI agent needs his pre-pubescent son to do his investigating for him, and that parts of this seem more like a high school class project than a professional film, this movie is creepy and interesting enough to be enjoyed. Sometimes, gore > shine. Extra half star for a baby elephant and two adorable orangutans! Thanks Joe, for suggesting this one.

Scott Glen takes second seat to a young boy out to discover the identity of a killer... which of course sounds cheesy enough. Nothing I would actively search out, but not something to be avoided.
