I'd like to cast a vote for "Walter" as being one of the most creepy names a man can have. Why does everyone named Walter have to be a weirdo? I'd say "Satan" is probably the other most creepy name.

But I don't know a whole lot of "Satans" on my block.

That is where my (bad) joking ends with this film. The Woodsman is a very serious film about an even more serious subject matter. Kevin Bacon gives what I consider to be his finest performance as Walter, a man with a record of sexual assault on minors, who returns to his home town to start his life again after spending over a decade in prison. The film doesn't…

It was about ten or fifteen minutes in when Michael Shannon appeared on screen, causing me to squeal like a little girl, which felt woefully inappropriate considering what is revealed a bit later in the film. Of course it was all bubblegum and lollipops after that.

I thought Bacon was good here and I have a huge soft spot for Mos Def, who can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned, and heck I even liked Eve as the receptionist, though almost nothing was done with her character. Unfortunately I was not the biggest fan of Sedgwick; I did not buy her as the rough and tumble lumberyard worker and even when she showed her sensitive side it did…

Par pedofiliju apsūdzētais un 12 gadus cietumā nosēdējušais Walter (Kevin Bacon) atgriežas savā dzimtajā pilsētā, lai sāktu jaunu dzīvi un tiktu pāri pagātnes tumšajām atmiņām, notikumiem.
Skarba, piesaistoša, brīžiem nepatīkama filma, jo materiāls ir ļoti jūtīgs, tāda kā tabu tēma, bet, manuprāt, režisoram izdevusies spēcīga drāma.
Lai gan filmas laikā netiek parādīts un izstāstīts, ko tieši Walter ir izdarījis, mēs, protams, saprotam ar ko tas bijis saistīts un cik tas bijis slikti, nepieņemami.
No vienas puses, skatoties filmu, gribas just līdzi galvenajam varonim, bet no otras puses saproti, ka par savām kļūdām, it īpaši tik smagām, ir jāmaksā. Galvenais varonis arī maksā - pret viņu vērstiem nicinošiem skatieniem, izturēšanos, neticību viņam utt.
Vai ir iespējams pieņemt tādu cilvēku, zinot viņa…
