Lack of good storyline.
hyped garbage
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Blistering performances.
Really impressed with this film. Hadn't heard anything about this film so was really surprised how good it was.
Terrible script, plot, production! Pacino was used to make his followers think it would be a decent movie. It's time for him to quit, if he's willing to do this type of work!
*Spoilers* I must admit ... tho I am a fairly big Karl Urban fan, I believe he AND Pacino were both just grabbing a paycheck here. The only decent acting job (besides the coroner), was turned in by Snow. We have a serial killer that, for some reason (made clear with about 10 minutes left in the movie), likes to play the children's game "Hangman". This guy find more elaborate ways to do away with each victim, as the movie progresses. Yet, the detectives (Urban and his retired buddy-detective Pacino, who he asks to take a look at a victim, then ends up staying on til the end), and their tag-along reporter friend Snow (who freely walks all over crime scenes and handles evidence), cannot seem to come up with a clue about what is going on. I'm surprised they figured out the cases were all "connected" in the first place. You knew something was up when, just over half-way thru, they think the serial killer has killed himself, and they send Snow home to rest ... yeah, nothing wrong with THAT move!). Sorry, but it's time for Pacino to hang 'em up. The hairstyles ment for 20 year olds and the very crappy make-up jobs cover up nothing anymore. And, his mumbling is getting terrible. Also, evidently, if you are gonna use Urban in a movie any time soon, please make sure you use vehicles big enough for him to climb in and out of, don't have him chasing 25 year olds in foot pursuit, AND, don't have him jumping on and off of sheds and fences over 3 feet high! If you decide to watch ... make sure it is either "free", or out of Redbox. Do NOT pay that ridiculous $11 PPV charge to see it (on a certain MEGA cable company). Then, you won't be so disappointed.
I got about a half an hour into this and couldn't take it any more. Poorly written, poorly directed, poorly edited. I agree with another reviewer; it's a mess.
