      kirby p The worst thing about this movie is its name, a strained reference for which a dedicated scene was added to the film. The scene was unnecessary, they should have omitted it and given the film a more appropriate name. Otherwise, it is a pretty good movie about a cop trying to crack a case of a serial killer. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
