Melodrama drivel takes away from the thrills that could have been
19 August 2015
This 'movie' feels more like a rejected pilot for a cop melodrama TV series in the likes of 'Hillstreet Blues' than a psychological thriller

With it's overabundance of focus on 'the wrong things' like the police couple with drinking- and relationship problems becoming the main focus very often instead of the actual crime that most of us viewers tuned in for

And it looks it as well, with cheap budget and limited sets

The only thing that sticks out if just a little is Adrien Brody who's never bad but not even him can save this melodramatic drivel

I liked Maura Tierny in the 'ER' series but she seriously has one facial expression through-out the whole movie, the 'I'm trying seriously not to start drinking again' depressed look

Give this one a pass
