The film is somewhat engaging, it deals with a sensitive subject and tries to deal with it in an honest yet confronting matter.
At least, in the beginning.
In the 2nd part of the movie there’s little left of the objectivity in the script.
To summarize, is this movie bad?
No, but it won’t blow you away.
The ideas are interesting but after a while the script feels uninspired and formulaic.
The acting is mediocre and the score is bad.
It’s not really worth seeing but it’ll briefly entertain you.
THE FLOCK is the story of hyper-vigilant federal agent (Gere) who, while training his young female replacement (Danes), must track down a missing girl whom he is convinced is connected to a paroled sex offender he’s investigating.

Goofs
- Revealing mistakes: Erroll is flicking through Vincent Dennison’s stuff. He opens a pornography magazine up. When he skips to the next page, exactly the same photo is shown on it.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Erroll is listening to the radio report about Harriet’s disappearance and her mother is begging for her return, the radio announcer says she is 17 years old. Later, when Erroll is looking at the newspaper with Harriet’s picture on the front page, the photo caption says she is 19.
- Revealing mistakes: When Errol puts the plastic tarp back over the corpse in the basement, it is clearly the same shot of him pulling it off, but in reverse.
