Towelhead: Review By Jakn

I'm not going to lie to you. I liked 'Towelhead', but and the same time I didn't. 'Towelhead' is a well-done movie, but some of the scenes are very disturbing to watch. Watching a man above the age of thirty raping a girl at the age of thirteen just makes you want to say "What in the hell...what's wrong with this guy?" Not only rape scenes are unbearable to watch, but also scenes of child abuse, though the child abuse scenes aren't as bad to watch as the rape scenes, that's a fact. To be honest, the rape scenes aren't as graphic as you'd think, just painful to think about.

So basically what I'm trying to say it's that the visuals are the main problem of the film, the rest isn't that bad at all. The actors know how to act, so the acting's fine. The script is almost perfect if it wasn't of the creepy and sick words coming out of rapist mouth. Aaron Eckhart plays the role of the rapist named Mr. Vuoso. Eckheat does do a good job making his character very twisted, but still that doesn't mean that I didn't like his character. All I'm saying is that he succeeded making his character.

The story is what makes the movie good. Its good way for teens to learn how that sex can be very dangerous and how there are sick people out in the world that will try to rape people at a young age. The story is the best part about the film. That's why I liked this movie.

Jasria (Summer Bishil) is moved from New York to Texas to live with her abusive father Rifat (Peter Macdissi. She meets the next door neighbors the Vuoso's and becomes their child's babysitter. One day of babysitting leads Jesria to adult magazines and begins to look at them. Later she meets a young black boy that wants nothing more from her but sex. She gets interested into sex so much that later on she gets raped by Mr. Vuoso.

'Towelhead' is the type of movie that's worth seeing only once. It's a film that everybody should see because of its good side to the story. If you don't like 'Towelhead' from its visuals, then I can understand. Hopefully you'll enjoy 'Towelhead', if not then nobody cares. You want more to the story then, you'll have to see 'Towelhead' for yourself.
