Movie Haiku:Months after he's humiliated in a gay-bashing incident, Charlie (Futterman) thinks he sees his nemesis leaving a neighborhood bar. So he circles round & round the bar, through the darkness of an urban nightmare. Futterman is a compelling, sympathetic lead -- a good guy roiling with emotion.
