In his first English-language film, noted Hong Kong director Andrew Lau (Internal Affairs) directs Richard Gere as Errol Babbage, a burned-out peace officer who's being forced out of his job monitoring paroled sex offenders after 18 years.
Claire Danes stars as Allison Lowry, Babbage's protege who must learn the ropes while keeping her mentor on the right side of the law and sanity as they hunt for a missing girl who Babbage is sure was abducted by one of his paroled criminals.
Support cast includes Ray Wise, KaDee Strickland and Avril Lavigne.
Background:
there are over half a million registered sex offenders in the US. For every thousand, there is only one caseworker that monitors them. A woman or child is sexually assaulted in the US every two minutes.
