Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for armchair detectives and anyone who's survived an office job. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Liked Dressed to Kill? This is a good next one. Anyone who's had a job will recognize these people.
The mood
Scary, gritty.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: expect violence.
  • Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.

A tough homicide cop is assigned to track down a serial killer who is murdering prostitutes.
