It's a Canadian made-for-TV movie about a psychiatrist (Amick), a detective (Phillips), and a serial killer (?).
It's about what you'd expect, nothing more and nothing less. If this continues, the fantasy world of TV and movie will have more serial killers than victims.
They all seem to have some kind of game they play with the agents of social control. There have been -- let me think -- serial killers who leave clues based on Alice in Wonderland, the seven deadly sins, the arrangement of stars in the cosmos, and the number of Hedy Lammar's marriages. Well, I just made that last one up, but you get the picture. This serial killer plays a game called hangman, which I've forgotten how to play, so the tensest scenes made little sense.
But then the entire movie doesn't make much sense -- something about acquiring valuable land and a conspiracy between a killer and someone we thought battened on probity.
Lou Diamond Phillips as the detective stands out because of his australopithecine features and his cheerfully flat delivery. Madchen Amick is notable because of her name. It so -- so -- TEUTONIC.
The ending seems to leave an opening for a sequel, but I can't believe that. You probably won't remember the movie for long after you've watched it.
