this be a movie i have a hard time wrap my mind around . the description sound wonderful . it sound like a murder mystery with al pacino lead a pack of devoted police officer to find a serial killer . a a huge fan of pacino and i think this would give him a chance to stretch and create a character . glance through the review and i see that i be not the only one that find this a disaster . it be bad in so many way that i find myself amaze . how could an actor of al pacino stature have get himself into such a mess . i have no answer at all but can agree with nearly everyone who post that he should have know well . the day the script be hand to him and he should have realize that it be beneath someone of his abiliity . this be a pointless exercise in sadism and with so many suspicious incidental character that it become laughable . the support acting be bad and the dialog they be force to speak bad . the 88 minute gimmick make no sense and because the film be not shoot in real time . at one point al pay a cabbie $ 100 so he can drive his taxi and then take the opportunity to drive around explain the plot instead of race to the next location . he a college professor to and but he seem to only use this a an excuse to sleep with as many student a possible . i be still try to get my mind around why his hair be pile so high he look like elvis . sorry and al . this might be your bad film .
