This reductive road movie about a petty thief and a boy trapped in the social service system logs many poignant moments without cloying sentiment. A series of bad deeds lands Daniel (Mark Webber) community service at an elementary school in New York City, where he bonds with Boone, a cheeky lad whose spirit belies his family situation.

"I want to do something good," he tells his father, who has seen more than enough of his son's swollen rap sheet. Daniel explores his legal options before snatching Boone from an upstate foster home.

(John Heard), but they're forced to stay in town after a truck-spill leads to a quarantine and the presence of both an FBI agent (Michael Ironside) and an EPA agent (Aunjanue Ellis).

American Psycho 2 features Rachel Newman Mila Kunis as the sole escapee of the murderous yuppie from the first film, Patrick Bateman. Since her brush with death, Rachel has found herself unhealthily obsessed with serial killers and their psyches. When former FBI agent Robert Starkman (William Shatner), who handled the original Bateman case, takes a job teaching one of Rachel's college classes, he hopes it will provide him with a needed break from the stress of murder and violent crime cases. Unfortunately, Rachel becomes dangerously infatuated with Professor Starkman, and decides that she'll be his teaching assistant, no matter what the cost. Now Rachel is the serial killer, murdering anyone she thinks is in the way of her potential job. Someone must catch on to her secret before she kills again. Morgan J. Freeman (Hurricane Streets) directs this addendum to the controversial story based on Bret Easton Ellis' controversial novel. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide.
