****contains spoilers**** - although the movie spoils it by it's own about ten minutes in...
I guess I was one of the few, that didn't think it was all that great, and didn't feel that way, because I was offended by the content or themes.
The premise is a good one, but sadly, if you payed attention, the twist was given away about ten minutes into the film, rendering the whole "Was that kid really kidnapped by aliens" storyline tiresome and mostly superfluous.
For the most part well acted and shot, but with very little humanity, and some oddball characters, that really seemed out of place. I thought that just about the only scene that carried any real emotion, was the one with Billy Drago, and maybe the ending.
Also, as someone mentioned, it's hard to believe, as is implied, that Neil never encountered abuse before the very end of his "career", in his quite a few years of turning tricks.
OK, but certainly not a great film, as most will have you believe.
