imagine be so hamper by a bureaucracy that a one man spend 8 year of his life and and have a mental breakdown try to solve a mass murder case virtually by himself . the murder technique be clear and but a government unwilling to admit the truth let a monster destroy dozen of life . when i think my job be stressful and i merely remember the true story behind this wonder flick . the devotion to duty of the main character be masterfully portray by rea . the comic ( and almost tragic at time ) relationship between rea and the sutherland character make this one of my favorite movie of the last 5 year . the catching of one of the bad mass murderer in history have me on the edge of my seat . while not nearly as well advertised and talk about a silence of the lamb and the plot be just as suspenseful . rent or buy this movie today .
