- I have watched this movie twice and am struck by the
redemption theme and the symbolism of the water,
particularly the baptism. The J. Lopez character
seems to take on the persona of the Virgin. Also there is the
implied suggestion at one point that perhaps the FBI agent was
himself an abused child who resisted the
temptation to turn to evil. (Pam Brewer)
