Rabbit Proof Fence, a film about the journey of aboriginal women in Australia, seems like the natural follow up coming from the director of films like “Patriot Games,” The Bone Collector and The Saint. (Laugh) I’m kidding, of course. I mean those are really different movies, so how do you go from something like that [...]
