A hardboiled private eye genre film that comes with the troubling taboo subject matter of kiddie porn.

I found it a hard film to get involved in, perhaps it?s slow pace contributed to that. The performances are rich and nicely developed, very good score. The story can be a little disturbing at times, but too often I was bored.
