Clichés kill it

Rating: 5/10 (26 October 2017)

Was intrigued after seeing the trailer. Movie grabbed me from the get go until we get to Cliché #1: The lead character has a young son who keeps getting upset because daddy has to keep putting his job first. Finally move beyond that and then the FBI agent turns up giving us Cliché #2: Hard nosed female agent, 'battling' backwoods cop and coroner and anyone else who is not with the program! Cliché #3......didn't get that far. Once Clarice Starling started on her 'smarter and more committed than thou' carp I'd had enough. Please, can we leave family life out of hard core mystery movies. Please, enough with the ballsy female fighting sexist, misogynistic, backwoods dinosaurs. Oh wait, Cliché #3 - if the female lead is leading the chase then you know she will be the one left standing at the end AND the one who comes through by taking down or arresting the bad guy. Same old carp, different day.
