The film was nominated for two Academy Awards and boasts an all-star cast that includes a very scary Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, and Juliette Lewis in a breakout role. The drama tells the tale of a convicted rapist who’s released from prison after serving a 14 year sentence. He comes to visit the family of the lawyer who’d defended him and has anything but gratitude on his mind.
