Following 18 years of imprisonment in New Mexico, Garnett has only one thing in his head: to join the outside world and live a normal life. His parole officer, Emily Smith, is to help him in his struggle. But Garnett's past soon catches up with him. Sheriff Bill Agati intends to make him pay dearly for the death of his sidekick 20 years earlier.
My summary line making the point that this is a remake many years removed from its (french) original. I haven't watched the original, so I cannot tell you how the two movies compare. I can only judge this by its own merits (and faults). What I can say, is that Whitaker is giving an excellent performance. It's also nice to see Harvey Keitel in a bigger role, even if it sometimes turns a bit comic evil, he has the gravitas to pull it in.
The age old question within this movie is: can we escape our pasts? Can we change and become someone/something different? Can we ever truly repent and is there such a thing as forgiveness? Those are heavy topics and the movie does not stay away from other topics as well (like religion, though it's not really made a big strong point, other than being there). You can tell early on, if this is the kind of "entertainment" you like to watch or not … the rhythm/pace stays the same throughout (occasional outbursts excluded)IMDB Reviewer
