Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe villain has a lot of similarities to real-life NYC serial killer David Berkowitz (also known as the "Son of Sam" and dubbed the ".44 Caliber Killer" by the media). Like the Son of Sam, the killer in this film is referred to as the ".44 Magnum Killer" by the media, commits his crimes in New York City, appears to hear voices (as the Son of Sam once said he did), and taunts the police.
- GoofsWrapping a gun, especially one as powerful as the .44 Magnum, in a towel will hardly dampen the sound of the gunshot. In fact, it's more likely to set the towel on fire due to the enormous muzzle flash.
- Quotes
Eugene Hunt: Death is the best kick of all. That's why they save it for last.
Featured review
This IS NOT As Bad As Reviewers Say
This cast contributed everything they had to this work, the story line is awesome, and the execution is purely entertaining. So what went wrong? As slick as this stylish detective/thriller is, it lacks an ending which denotes the wit and keen intellect throughout. In other words, the ending was weak enough to throw off this whole work.
Jamie Lee Curtis, nor any of her cast mates represents the problem. The problem was in the writing, however, this is still quite compelling, and dramatizes an interesting story, which has the ability to pull you in and build some awesome suspense.
All in all, although it fails to deliver satisfactorily in the end, the process getting you there is quite entertaining.
It rates a 6.8/10 from...
