Interesting and will likely watch other movie adaptations of the books in the series.

I enjoyed the movie. The incidental music did not cause me to want to scream which was a pleasant surprise. There were enough characters to keep me alert, figuring out the possibilities. There were no doppelgängers among the cast. If it is necessary for two or more characters to look alike to support the storyline that's okay-but if its a thing the casting director has, no thanks.

I read the "factual goofs" after watching the movie, thankfully. I entirely disagree with with two of them and a third is misrepresented. I know of no other way to dispute them. In the hopes of making your isolation/streaming experience a little different see if you agree.

Tracking down a serial killer in the marshy jungle of prostitution and decadent promiscuity in a great city

Sherry Stringfield and Virginia Madsen make a terrific team in trying to lead a police force back to control and normal operation after a terrible lapse of efficiency when pervert criminality runs amuck without the perpetrator being caught. To help boosting the efficiency and direct the public opinion in more favourably, a journalist is employed to follow Stringfield around and write about the activity, while in the beginning he is just constantly in the way messing things up. The tempo is fierce like in so many efficient police thrillers, but you really get in touch with the criminal reality which they will have to tamper with, including hackers, corruption, all kinds of abuse, the only thing left out to spare the audience being children - there are no children here at all, fortunately, since there are quite enough of alcoholics, perverts, and typical metropolitan misery on all levels of the gutter. You have to fasten your seatbelts to be able to follow all the raging fury of this revolting odyssey around the hectic work of police obligations in a major city with no relief. Sherry Stringfield is all admirable efficiency, while Virginia Madsen has the wrong kind of husband, who tries to commit suicide, which does not improve the public image of a city police. The film is documentary in character, all is strictly matter of fact, no room for sentimentality or pity here, but it sure is interesting and engaging.
