Acting was ok by the two cops. Judd was crap, the material did not help him at all. Screenplay was garbage. This is a boring, clichéd, cheap copied storyline.
Judd as the serial killer, background, father was a cop that got killed, he was abusive to Judd. That's it. Nothing else, no other background, how he lives, where does he get the money to buy all his guns. Nothing, just a dead end, like this movie.
Leo Rossi as the younger cop leaves NY for CA with wife and son. All the family interaction is filler, just so we can feel something for them in the finally when the killer holds them hostage. The little boys acting was garbage. The wife did well, especially at the end.
Here's a questions. Why did the killer start killing now? We don't know. We're given a bunch of nonsense scenes to show how clever the younger cop is. How incompetent the LA cops are. Lots and lots of family nonsense. But the serial killer's motivations. Not much. Only because he was abused by his father. Great. Not.
The first kill was good, strangulation and stabbing. The 2nd with the piano wire was ok. 3rd and 4th were ok. He shoots the older cop.
Judd was just crap in this. What we have is a bunch of filler boring dialogue that add up to nothing. We find out that the LA police are incompetent. NY police detective has experience and wants to act. But then he disobeys orders and puts the psychologist in danger, and fraudulently gets 4 other detectives to help him. Then he puts on the killers father's death jacket on to confuse the killer. Straight up copy from Friday the 13, part 2, when the last surviving girl puts on Jason's mother's sweater to confuse Jason. At that point, we should realize that the writer of this mess should stop writing.
So, freaking stupid.
Another thing. The first victim got a voicemail from the killer, gave the tapes to the cops. After he got killed, days go by, and it's used to identify the killer. This is cheap writing. Here's some advice. Just because you know how to speak, know how to put words down on paper or type does not make you a writer. But apparently if you can complete a story and get some producers to pick up your story, and get a production company to fund the picture and hire a director, actors, crew etc, then you can be called a writer. Congratulations.
As I was watching this mess, I was thinking, the crew and cast involved in setting up and participating in the "film" must have been on autopilot. Nobody stopped to say, this is really stupid. Everybody got paid, so I guess who cares.
This is not the worst movie ever made. There's some decent acting. But zero entertainment value. It's just a filler. Wallpaper. I just saw a Meg Ryan movie "In The Cut", that may be the worst movie ever. Forget Plan 9 from Outer Space.
This film, F, 1 star for effort.
