Charlie is the same in this movie as he is in real life. CRAZY with tiger blood flowing through his veins. and will he WIN ! that is the question?

Mare Winningham made this movie. I never realized how underused she was until I saw her captivating performance in this thriller. Sheen proves himself fairly useful as a bad guy. The two pair up in scenes and the tension in them does keep you on the edge wondering what the hell this guy is going to do next to this family. A must for people who like psychology as well.
