Sam Gillen (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is a wrongly accused escaped convict who’s good at finding trouble. This time, however, Gillen has an opportunity to do something positive when he moves on to the farm of widow Clydie Anderson (Rosanna Arquette) and her two children (Kieran Culkin, Tiffany Taubman). When Sam learns that a land developer is threatening Anderson, he does what he can to set things right in this Joe Eszterhas-penned potboiler.
One of Van Damme's better, more subtle performances is offset by a sleazy sricpt from Joe Eszterhas that puts extremely inappropriate dialogue into the mouths of child actors. Worth watching for the scenes where Van Damme and the great Ted Levine (Silence of the Lambs) get to play off each other. Two actors I never thought I'd see together and here they are, having a testosterone fest.
