About this product

Product Information

The Long Island Expressway, the highway that traverses suburban Long Island with its "lanes moving east, lanes moving west, and lanes that go straight to hell" serves as the central metaphor in this disturbing meditation on coming of age and teenage vulnerability. Howie Blitzer (Paul Franklin Dano) is a sensitive fifteen-year-old who runs with a rough crowd. The recent death of his mother (in a car accident on exit 52 of the L.I.E.) and his father's indifference to it, have left him floating in a world bubbling over with sex, violence, and danger. When his best friend Gary convinces Howie to burglarize the house of their neighbor, 60-year-old Big John (Brian Cox), the tenuous balance of their teenage existence is entirely thrown off. To make matters even worse, Howie's father is arrested over a bad business deal. Howie is left dangling, and only Big John seems to care. A harrowing mixture of tenderness and perversion electrifies the father-son relationship that forms between Howie and Big John. Director Michael Cuesta's touching vision of domestic life in modern-day suburbia is at once humorous and unnerving as it boldly charts one boy's convoluded path through adolescence.

    Makes you see inside a sick man's heart

    This film shows a surreal look at a man's sick underage desires for underage boys. While it also shows that people with this sort of sickness don't generally feel good about having such a sickness and they god forbid they even have good intentions when they aren't taken over by their sickness... I like that the main character is a fairly innocent boy and while the sick man has some sexual interest in him, he doesn't proceed with them once he gets to know the child. Showing that there is even good in these so called monsters of society... It's a sickness and should be treated as such, but if for some reason they can't itch their desires and they did in fact proceed upon their sickness, of course they should be punished.

    Very interesting and factual movie.

    This movie was very dramatic. It gave details about what is happening in our current society. Pedophiles are amongst us.
