It was ok if you just want something in the background while you do something else.

Earnest film undone by less than stellar production
jmbovan-47-16017330 August 2021
Decent film that has an earnest heart in the lead police detectives. The story and plot are rote and standard for this type of film. And overall, the production felt about college level first feature attempt. That being said, I'm giving it a few bonus points for the strong effort by all involved. I was engaged enough to watch the whole film in one setting.
Two different movies

The good ratings are made by the cast and crew.

This movie was horrible. I was actually rooting for the antagonist. The acting is bland and there is no storyline. I didn't care about Ricki being kidnapped at all. First of all, she's 16, on the streets and going into random guys cars. Before that happened, she was a literal prostitute and using the money she earns to help her friend get drugs. 0 empathy towards her. It's like these girls don't watch movies or the news. They always trust the guy dressed like the stereotypical serial killer.
That police department was ridiculous... There were like 4 cops there and all because it's ''The 4th of July weekend'' 😂 Please make this more realistic... That whole night, only 1 girl was getting kidnapped? Must be a small town then.
The antagonist is a chemistry teacher, claimed he'd done that to many girls before and had never been caught. Another example of the horrible police department. Also, apparently he also only kills girls who are over 18 since he was so sensitive about the under 18 stuff. That was shocking. Since when do serial killers care about their victims age? How didn't he know she was a high schooler is he teaches at her school? (So it seems)
Near the ending I was hoping Ricki wouldn't magically break free but she did... yikes.
They called for backup and the S. W. A. T so many times but nobody came. Lmao. What happened to the heli he shot around 100 times? They didn't crash?
Right at the end, she's back at school. But guess what? The antagonist is teaching at her school. Now, how the he'll do you not recognize a man who held you hostage and surely, made a big impact on your life. That was the most ridiculous part of the film. He looked exactly the same too, just changed his wig. Someone suggested that the teacher is his twin brother in the trailer comments, sounds stupid but that's the only logical way. He got stabbed and shot twice, escaped prison and is a teacher again? Yeah I'm gonna go with the twin theory
The only good thing about this movie is.... nothing honestly. The serial killer was kinda cute though. It also (I hope) teaches young girls (like myself) not to get in cars with random people.. stuff you learn when you're 5. Also, to stay in school and don't sell your body at such a young age...
1/10.
At the very end, why do movies do this. She's going to the nurses office but it looks like she's going to the gates of heaven. Walking into nothing but bright light. 😂😂 Maybe I should give it a 2/10 because this part made me laugh.

Dumb Title Decent Movie

We are going to save this one
nogodnomasters2 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Alisha (Yasha Jackson) is a rookie cop who witnesses the abduction of a prostitute. She eventually convinces her boss it is a real issue and they go after the killer.
The killer was a master at disguise and used some sort of key to steal cars, yet the background for his skills and trade were not well developed. They kill your interest in order to shorten the feature into a badly generic film.
Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.

Gritty Crime Drama
lavatch8 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The performances were top notch, and the direction was crisp in this intense crime drama. Alisha, a rookie cop, senses something is amiss when she witnesses a woman being dragged into a car. Her instincts pay off when it turns out that she is on the trail of a serial killer.
The film was especially successful in its pacing. The deliberate moments when Alisha and Sergeant Corbucci were reflecting on the thin evidence in the case were filled with gravitas as they desperately searched for clues.
The major shootout scene was well photographed and well choreographed. Until that moment, it was a race against the clock to find Ricki Fennel, who was held hostage by the psychopathic character named Vince, a master of disguises.
There was an intriguing denouement to the film that came in the form of a flashback scene. While the moments shared between Ricki and Vince at the high school did not make sense in the logic of the film, it was a subtle way of depicting how an unassuming chemistry teacher could be a menace to society.

Average movie
funnycommentor12 October 2021
The plot and the storyline of the movie was so interesting, but the execution was average. The characters were so interesting. By the way, I don't know why. But, I have noticed that this year many movies that are being released, they are about police officers. The kills were ok. The ending was kinda weird, but kinda shocking too. The only thing we didn't had the chance to know, was the killer's motives (I mean, yes we know that he was dump, but why would someone do those things). Thankfully, the movie wasn't too long (1 hour and 20 minutes), because, if it was longer, it would be kinda boring.
Great movie

Killer Among Us
a_baron14 May 2021
If you ignore the thinly disguised though obvious political agenda, this isn't a bad thriller. A serial killer who has been preying on young black prostitutes with impunity is caught in flagrante delicto kidnapping his next victim, but bluffs his way out of it. The off-duty rookie female patrol officer concerned follows up with a typical policeman's hunch, or policewoman's in this case, and after convincing a cynical older detective that evil is afoot, they launch a missing person investigation.
Then the bad guy loses it, stabbing to death a white nightclub worker and shooting dead a shopkeeper in quick succession, the second because he realises the game is up. The finale isn't quite what you would expect, suffice it to say it's lucky this guy was a humble serial killer rather than a terrorist because in his woodland hideaway he had enough ordnance to blow up half the county.

Horrible screen writing, direction and acting except for the female lead who was okay. Unrealistic plots twists. One thing that really really bugged me was how the serial killer strapped his victim to the bed. She kept squirming like she couldn't wriggle out of it but it was so obvious how easily she could slip her legs and whole body out of his pathetic attempt at strapping her down. Anyone giving this dreck high ratings is clearly inexperienced and without discernment of what's good and bad in a movie. Oh, yeah, and the police department was a complete joke. It was impossible to take this movie seriously.
What's the point

This movie was a sad story gone good. However, getting to the dry ending really felt like a huge waste of my time. I wouldn't watch it again or even recommend it to an enemy. The actors were alright at doing what they were supposed to but the storyline was terrible and the ending seem meant the whole thing was a waste because she's still not gonna do what anyone expects of her. She should be grateful she survived.
A good, no B/S cop story.
tullymon224 October 2021
A clear story that never hits any bumps. The tension steadily increased right to the very end.
If you need sweeping big budget drama that relies on slick editing, this may not be for you. My "dumb movie" needle didn't budge even once.....
Enjoyed the coda at the very end too!

among us
linusdoench31 October 2022
This movie saves my grandma. When my grandma was dying of cancer, i played a movie for her and it was this. It was so good all of her diseases were cured and was given superpowers. She later almost died but she remembered hit movie "killer among us" and became god. She later killed jesus and became the sun. She killed all criminals on the earth and killed all drugs on the face of the planet. "killer among us" is a perfect movie. Everything is so perfect. I was a loner in school, being bullied forever, but then i found "killer among us" my life is saved and the whole planet should be named after this masterpiece.
Movie makes you mad

This movie is good, but it's a tough watch. What the heck is a NHI. I looked it up and was even more pissed once I read the results. The movie reminds you of current events. Won't write any spoilers so I'm stopping now.
FANTASTIC FILM
