Routine crime story enhanced by the outstanding performance Adrien Brody gives us of a clever, cynical and sadistic killer who buried a woman alive just to fun. The plot has some flaws and the ending has no climax at all. Despite these negative points, the film has its moments, for example the audacious escape of Brody from the police headquarters and the poignant dialogue he keeps with the female cop (Tierney) in charge of the case. I give this a five.
