A vastly superior,slick hollywood thriller.

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 1999)

Although I was a little disappointed after seeing this film (due to all the moronic children who spread the myth that it was a meanigful insight into the serial killer mind set) I now appreciate it for what it truly is...a jerry bruckhimer type hollywood thriller...The direction is almost faultless(i.e,the rain and lack of on the final day type symbloism) the performances good enough..apart from spacey occasionely hamming it up.Then comes the ending..at least the trick ending here was a means to an end..unlike the terrible usual suspects which relied on the ending as its sole point.Overall a fun entertaining and money worthy thriller..sure beats enemy of the state. p.s..for a real serial killer film that scares get hold of leanoard schraders(pauls brother)Documentary.The Killing Of America.
