While on the trail of murderer "the Silencer," who leaves his victims without a tongue, FBI agent Jason Chandler (Patrick Muldoon) discovers a pattern: The victims are all serial killers. Despite the skepticism of his partner, Stephanie Dobson (Cathy Moriarty), Jason shares his theory with supervisor William Heywood (Tim Thomerson), who invites him to join the elite "Red Squad" of crime fighters. As Jason tags along, he begins to suspect that Heywood's men are behind the criminals' deaths.

This is not a particularly thrilling thriller. It's an okay movie, the cast does well, but it just isn't compelling enough for it to work. It does try, it just doesn't happen. Mundane score. Nothing special.

Lousy acting, poor sound and a weak story. This movie has it all. Who was the audience for this movie? Were we supposed to be upset because some serial killers were being killed? I had a hard time working up any sympathy for them, especially the pedophile they throw off the bridge. I actually agreed more with the "bad guys" in this movie than the "hero". This was a much better movie idea when it was called Star Chamber. At least in that movie there was some doubt about the guilt of one of the suspects. In this movie all of the suspects were guilty and deserved to be punished. It would have been better if there were some grey in this black and white presentation.
