Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I liked that movie. The story is along the line of SEVEN, but it's not SEVEN. The plot development is very different and compared to SEVEN, anyone will choose the latter as a better movie. But it doesn't mean this one is horrible.The cinematography is great. It sets well the moods and it's like watching a succession of paintings. Much better than what you can expect from a B-movie.The story holds great and there are no real loopholes.I really appreciated the fact that there were a lot of «normal» reactions. For example, the movie begins with the discovery of a body near a river. The detective arrives on the crime scene, obliviously recognize the victim (an old flame) and after learning she was found at the exact spot where they met, he says: «I can't be on this case, I know the victim.» I think it's the first time I see this in a movie or TV show, as opposed to the traditional cop who tries to hide this fact because he or she wants to get the case so badly. No real cop would do something like that, as it would jeopardize any case in court.Another «normal» reaction is the female detective who begins to treat any man she meets as a suspect, as she knows she can be a potential victim. And it is done in a very realistic way, i.e. she's not a nervous wreck that is pointing a gun at every man she meets.Another «normal» reaction is the patrol cars protecting potential victims. They are shown as an effective deterrent instead of having a killer tricking or killing them to reach his victims. The killer must find another way.Basically, no stupid people in this movie. Except maybe for the FBI agent (Christian Slater) which could of give it a rest with the patronizing of the «suspect» detective (Ray Liotta), which was clearly not a suspect from the get go. He was the only one acting weird on the subject.It will not win any awards, but it is nice to watch on a late night.

This film has some interesting aspects but they aren't good enough to outshine anything in this hunk of garbage. I couldn't stand some of the acting with how inconsistent and off key it was, for example Gisele Fraga which played Ana really annoyed me because she constantly contradicted everything she did or said. To elaborate further on that I will say how Ana always made an idiot out of her self by constantly saying I don't care when she very clearly and obviously did care. Plus unless Ana had a major case of bi polar disorder Gisele and the writers screwed up there, she would be hardcore arguing with jack when out of no where she brings up how she is pregnant and now they're both happy and loving each other which clearly doesn't make sense.Another inconsistent character is the main killer aka jacks bastard son, all throughout the film he's talking about how jack will burn in hell and he will show no mercy and so forth when in the end after killing all those women and even the unborn children in the bellies he let Ana and her kid live. So overall the inconsistency makes this film really stupid and badly made.The films highlights were not as common as they should have been but even if the highlights appeared more frequently it still wouldn't have been nearly enough to make up for all the ridiculous inconsistency. If you enjoyed it good for you but for me I just hate it for plenty of reasons I've already listed, if you haven't seen this movie and you're reading this review do yourself a favor and skip this one and go watch seven. Seven has a somewhat similar story with a much better story, consistency, acting, and climax (among the most memorable in my opinion). That's the end of my review thanks for reading.

I was never much of a fan of Ray Liotta, except maybe for The Goodfellas,and he proves me right in this movie. The actress playing his wife is struggling with English and with acting (no, she's not the next SoniaBraga, I'm sorry to say). Christian Slater does his usual crazy. Nothing suspenseful, nothing thrilling and no drama (though they do try, so eagerly, in every shot) about this. This was free on-demand, so I'm happy I didn't have to pay for it. Don't let the others fool you, this movie is not worth your time. The writing is horrible, the dialogue is childish, the plot is stupid, the "twist" is easily figured out, the acting is horrible - it is murder-by-numbers with all the clichés you can throw in, mixed up and then spilled out for you viewing "pleasure". Stay away!

This is the kind of low budget movie offering a mix of seasoned actors, who do a great job with the material and their screen time, and not so seasoned ones who fill in the blanks.Liotta is top notch and Slater is his usual enjoyable self.Michael Rodrick has got game and Sarah Ann Schultz creates a very hot detective.With a handful of surprising twists and few glaring errors, it managed to tell a really interesting story by avoiding the usual pitfalls of guns and sexploitation.This had the look and feeling of those B-movies of the eighties where you could sit in front of the picture and be just captivated by the storytelling and the performance of thespians who don't need big bucks for them to show they can act.A good effort.As for the whiners? Well, 2 species have sprung on IMDb in the last few years: those who like nothing and those who hate everything.As for the rest: you'll probably enjoy the surprises as well as I did.
