This was an alright serial killer movie, I recall it coming out and never managed to see it. There are some interesting and a little far fetched ideas that take it into a very slightly fantastical relm, but on the whole it's kept gritty and real by director E. Elias Merhige. I absolutely love his previous film Shadow of the Vampire but this is far removed from that.

The pace is kept up and the twists and turns and nicely spread to keep you interested. There's just one conceit that is a tough sell, involving a secret FBI programme. I don't think it quite gets there.

Still they are using quite a few tricks to keep you interested, lots of flim stock changes and flashy jump editing in the flashbacks and visions characters have. The acting was fine, Ben Kingsley comes off the worst although his character is a tricky one. But the rest of it was amiable enough.
