Glen W Another stressed out female cop with health problems and/or alcoholism, but lucks out in the end. Good cast, but no likeability. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/25 Full Review Jelisije J A serial killer is around and Susan Sarandon must try to stop him in an unexpected good thriller. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Mary S There was a very original element to this movie, which I very much appreciated as someone who had studied linguistics. The performances are a bit wooden, and there is a lot about the portrayal of law enforcement that was implausible. But I enjoyed this nonetheless. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Lynn D This show is very intriguing and very good acting. I am hoping it gets a season 2. I'm surprised by the low rating. Very talented actors. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Jesse L *SOME SPOILERS* What was most irritating was the blatant disregard for reality of how police services work in Canada. Police Chief asks for police staffing from a completely different jurisdiction and talks to someone there as if he is her boss (if she were OPP this would make sense, but she's not); cop flies outside jurisdiction to a completely different province, enters a property without probable grounds, finds a bunch of evidence, then finds a dead body but doesn't report it to local police, meaning all the evidence there will now be compromised and can never be used; cop then flies to Montreal, again outside of jurisdiction and province, and is ready to go into a house on probable grounds of seeing blood everywhere when he looks through a window, but I guess forgets that he has no jurisdiction there so that means nothing. All of this is probably from the book on which the movie is based so that is likely where blame lies. If you're willing to suspend your disbelief for the duration of the film, it is not terrible, but much more in the vein of a drama than a thriller. A sad waste of Sarandon's and Burstyn's talents. They were not bad in the film at all, but their talents were underutilized. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Giorgio G The story has been run already many times, of some small town (partly rundown) cops going after a serial killer, in this case a religious one. Unfortunately the story unravels too early, taking a lot of tension out of the movie. Still, mainly because of acceptable performances by the main actors, it is a watchable flick. There are a few goof-ups, but for being clearly a low budget movie it is quite alright. 5/10 points. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
