I have seen many of the USA Network films and this retelling of the sniper attacks of last Autumn is their finest achievement to date.

Charles Dutton is Chief Moose, he speaks slowly and determinately like the Montgomery County Sheriff did in the traumatic period of indiscriminate slaughter.

Cold and at times searing photography rare to see in television movies lights the work with strong actors and unpleasant violence that does not trivialize the viciousness of the crimes as many films have. Although the story follows much in line of Dirty Harry and Scorpio's murder-extortion scheme, it is far more insidious to know that this was a real event that did grip the country more than the 24-hour news channels could possibly convey. This film is able to transcend the fear-mongering and become a reflection of the real world as much as Leibniz's monads. If you haven't figured it out this film worked for me.
