The War Zone (1999)
7/10
Ugly but powerful
7 August 2002
This is not a family movie. This is also not your average American child-abusers-bashing type of movie. Usually, in movies about incest, the father is a violent nothing-to-like-about-him type of guy. In The War Zone the father is actually a caring and "loving" father but with a twisted idea about acceptable sexual behaviors. The pace is very slow and nothing is totally black or totally white in this movie. The characters are really deep and twisted and the acting is top-class. The problem with this movie is that it is too good and because of its subject-matter it translates into an unpleasant experience. 7/10.
