possible plot spoilersi adore dennis hopper . i question why he accept the role of a police detective in 2000 the spread ground . this movie flat out suck and i be about to tell you why . this be about a small town which be about to get a contract for a sport arena . one hitch represent there a killer on the loose and that be bad for business . the mayor make a deal with the irish mob to find the killer and make sure he never make it to court . det . ed delongpre have other plan . he want this guy catch too and but he on the level and believe in the system . he want to see the system do it job . that could have be pretty good . it could have be rivet . it be horrible . first and they label this guy a serial killer . err no . there be specific criterion and none of it fit here . the bad guy have kill 5 kid the first day and and i think it be 2 the second day . this entire movie span like a 48 hour time period . hardly serial killer action . i do not care what warp motif they give him in the end and serial killer do their deed over a long time span . they do not just all of a sudden kill 7 kid in two day . that a spree . ok that irritant aside and the acting be atrocious . the only name here be hopper and and he the only one who come even close to pull off his part . unfortunately and he kinda type cast to me and i think he do psycho part much and much good . this just wasn not a good vehicle for hopper . it do not allow him to do what he do best and which be to act all creepy . it not that he do bad and it that i have see him do so much well . the irish mob guy and johnny gault ( tom mccamus long day journey into night ) and who be in charge of their investigation be just over the top stiff . contradiction . not really . he be try to play the cold and hard kinda guy and he do that to the point that the character be just wooden . bore to the max . he do not scare me . he do not inspire any emotion at all except boredom . i can not tell you how many time i check to see how much long it be til the end of this movie . the other thing about this be that it have the feel of a make for tv movie . you know what i mean . the poor production value and low budget and re use of scene to save cost . just eh . yanno . but and i feel like compare this to those be an insult to those . derek vanlint be both the director and cinematographer on this project . he bite off more than he could chew . i can not help feeling that hopper must have take this role a a personal favor to a friend . that the only rational i can come up with . this be vanlint first job a director and third a cinematographer . hopefully this be a learning experience for him . i would not ruin the end in case you do decide to torture yourself with this one and but i do want to say that they all drop the ball here . even hopper . in a scene that should have be emotionally gut wrench for the detective and it be just . well . blah . i do not see any of the angst at all that would accompany the total gear change this guy make . very disappointing . this 100 grueling minute long and rat r for violence and language . no kid under 13 be go to have any interest whatsoever in watch this and so no worry there . it not suitable for anyone anyway . heh . skip this one . you will thank me later .
