Wow! All those bad ratings while Joe gives an outstanding performance, providing a tension which is almost unbearable. Also, the movie touches upon a lot of important aspects: the shortage of and immense pressure faced by emergency resources and law enforcement, the powerlessness and inability of mental health care and social work to help families in a way that is truly helpful, abuse of power by police, how on the one hand instincts and quick judgements are crucial to assistance and survival but on the other hand can feed preconceived notions leading one astray. I would’ve liked to hear more about Joe’s background, why he’s facing court, why he mentions his dad, etc. Other than that, a gripping movie. Yes, it had me sigh at yet another remake, thinking it could never be nearly as good as the original one, but it surprised me, in a positive way. With thanks to ferguson-6 @IMDb, whose review helped me put my thoughts into words.
