Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Another movie with Kim in which she is the prey of an insane and dangerous criminal. This one is very faraway of the excellent « closer & closer » and if slightly better than « love and treason », the quality is still low value : i'm just tired by those cop movies, serial killer, guns and violence I understand Kim did it in 1995, so along her 1st season in NYPD. So she was 34 then and just totally charming : sure she is dynamic and great in action but she has also this fragility, this soft point that appears clearly when she talks. She is strong-will but also not totally confident and that's this duality that made her a great actress ! Here the movie fits her like her glove but in the same time it's stupid (a FBI profiler shouldn't be afraid !) and already seen a thousand times ! The only thing i remember is that the killer was the dangerous albinos in « the firm » ! In other words, it's only because Kim was in that I picked it up !
Y'all --Tobin Bell is so incredibly good in this movie --watch it just for him!--please! Jesus have mercy--it's worth it! Tobin is great, simply great!--beyond great! Seriously--if anyone has ever stolen a show, it's him in this one. My God! What a cool guy!--please let me be able to act like him one day!!Frankly, if you consider yourself a Tobin fan, and you haven't seen this movie--you have issues!!! See it! And for those of you who don't really know much about Tobin--watch it and see for yourself! Believe me, you're gonna wanna see this guy in action. He truly does a spectacular job.-Jenny
Serial Killer is a decent movie! It keeps you going and I like how isn't a mystery and lets the killer be known plus it gives him a lot of time to do the things he does! Anyway the cast is good and while I am really not familiar with Tobin Bell, he was very good as the serial killer! Good music and story! Recommended!
Selby Younger (Kim Delaney) is a psychologist from the FBI Psychological Profile Unit and having a relationship with detective Cole Grayson (Gary Hudson). She provides the profile of the serial killer William Lucian Morrano (Tobin Bell, with an outstanding performance), the criminal hurts her and is arrested by Cole. Two years later, Selby quits her position in FBI and is no longer with Cole. Morrano has cancer and is submitted to an experimental treatment. He recovers himself, escapes from the hospital and starts killing again, but in a different profile. Only friends of Selby are threatened. This thriller is very good, in the same line as `The Silence of the Lamb'. Tobin Bell is excellent as a serial killer. Having a better actor to perform Cole, and a few improvements on the screenplay, this could be an excellent film. Anyway, highly recommended for viewers who appreciate a suspenseful movie. My vote is seven.
