Freed after a lengthy term in a juvenile detention center, convicted child killer Jack Burridge (Andrew Garfield) finds work as a deliveryman and begins dating co-worker Michelle (Katie Lyons). While out on the road one day, the young Englishman notices a distressed child, and, after reuniting the girl with her family, becomes a local celebrity. But, when a local newspaper unearths his past, Jack must cope with the anger of citizens who fear for the safety of their children.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Crowley gets a remarkable performance from Andrew Garfield: his Jack is a person who carries guilt with him even when he is trying to override it.
– Stanley Kauffmann,
The New Republic,
11 Aug 2008
fresh:
The movie is taut with suspense but culminates in wise resignation as the hero comes to understand he's running from a part of himself.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,
12 Aug 2008
fresh:
Even its structurally weaker moments give Garfield an opportunity to expand on Jack's physical and mental dislocation. Given Boy A's final floating reel, it's an anchoring performance in every sense of the word.
– Kamal Al-Solaylee,
Globe and Mail,
29 Aug 2008
fresh:
Director John Crowley, a veteran Irish theater director now working in film, is deliberate with every last element of his film.

It makes us feel sympathy for the devil.
