I can find nothing to recommend in this movie. Filmed in Italy? Everyone speaks in differently accented English!! Except the serial kidnapper/killer. He has perhaps 5 lines in the entire film and his English us the worst caricature of an Italian accent I've ever heard in a film. The script is absolutely not believable in terms of how police conduct an investigation of any crime, but most especially that of a serial killer. The biggest disappointment is Adrian Brody's performance. But really all the performances are not true to character, they are either over or under acted. The worst performance is the main female protagonist (sister of the most recent kidnap victim). She displays all the wrong affect in almost every scene. How did the director not intervene? Or perhaps it is indeed the worst directorial job I've ever seen. The musical score contributes nothing to the pace, the suspense, the climax, or any other part of the film. Don't spent even $2 on a rental. Watch any episode of CSI. And you'll be better off.
