The poster (see here) and the tagline ("I'm not a monster...") summarizes the movie pretty well. Woodsman tells the story of a paroled paedophile, Walter (Kevin Bacon), who tries to start a normal life (or, rather, as normal as possible) out in the society after 12 years in prison.
Much of the movie is centered on the internal struggle of Walter. The title of the movie is an allusion to the old folk tale, in which a woodsman saves Little Red Riding Hood from the stomach of Big Bad Wolf by cutting the wolf open. Which one is Walter; the wolf or the woodsman? The (red) ball is in his court...
Woodsman is only 80 minutes long, but there's a lot of content crammed into those minutes, even though the film, and Kevin Bacon's acting particularly, is rather minimalistic. Thought provoking. Not pleasent, but still not completely devoid of hope. Not for Fast and Furios fans.
