L.I.E.
With his mother dead and his father busy at work, Howie feels adrift in his New York suburb. He and his friend Gary spend their time burglarizing their neighbors' homes — until they make the mistake of robbing the house of Big John, a macho former Marine who is also an unrepentant pedophile. He propositions Howie, who declines, but the two eventually develop an unlikely and dangerous friendship.

This was actually a pretty good movie, although given the topic it kind of made you feel bad for one of the characters at the end that you shouldn't really feel bad for.
