The always outstanding Morgan Freeman works with the surprisingly refreshing Ashley Judd (country stars act too?) in "Kiss the Girls," a film which surely DOES make them cry. This is probably the kind of dark, brooding, ominous film which self-styled media critics (themselves members of the media) would like to blame the mass murders of Columbine and the shootings in Georgia and California on - although it's not nearly so psychedelic and mind-altering as "Natural Born Killers." Still this film's portrayal of the psychotic terror that lurks within ALL of us is both compelling and frightening. Freeman seems to have a niche with these sort of films, and I predict in 20 years his name and work will have assumed that of a cult status. This movie is not for young children, and probably not for most adults either - but if you're a fan of the kind of "mindf**k" that films such as "The Blair Witch Project" provide you'll thoroughly enjoy this film. The intelligent will walk away knowing that this experience was not an instructional cookbook for mayhem but rather the portrayal of the same kind of quiet madness that stalks us in the form of Aryan Nation activists and Anti-Semites every day.
