Diane Lane one of our better actresses is the STAR, The remaining members of cast are lesser known performers.
This is another serial killer horror story & for the first 90 or so minutes of its 102 minute running time is interesting & good & should have warranted a higher rating.
SPOILER The last 12 minutes ( 8 really plus 4 minutes of credits,) goes downhill. Why you ask. I will be a spoiler & tell you.
The killer has our heroine in dire jeopardy. Isn't there a writer that can come up with a more original conclusion.
There are a few scenes of simulated torture,to me they are not convincing as we know it is not real. A few years ago we had SEVEN the victims were all tortured, BUT what we saw was only make-up on the victims in photos on the autopsy table. To me that was more horrifying.
Colin Hanks (Tom's son) has a nice role as a cop, the rest of cast names are unfamiliar to me, in most cases, BUT are good. Fine location cinematography supposedly in Portland OR.
Ratings **1/2 (out of 4) 72 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)
