    Meh.

    Kind of a letdown. I thought, considering the premise, that we would have a decent movie as a result...... not always the case. This movie falls way short of the needed expectations of a serial killer flick, and smelled a lot like "Zodiac". Obviously, this movie came first....( read more).. but the killer had been around a while.

    I don't want to waste too much time on this film, so here's what I will leave flixterland with: fuck this Hollywood garbage.

    Serial Killers before serial killers was cool. Russell is very good, Hemingway is too, but their chemistry could be better. The villian is excellent

    Just your typical thriller. Theres nothing to make this a memorable film. Not even Kurt Russell or Andy Garcia can lift this.
