the horseman tout itself a another serial killer cat and mouse and admirably attempt to mix in several sub genre include torture and exotic piercing and plot twist and and even a silence of the lamb ( more primal fear in execution ) style prison exchange . what transpire be unfortunately a lot of set piece that do not add a lot to the whole . dennis quaid have always be fun to watch and have have several noteworthy performance ( my fav will always be savior ) . here he struggle to play a hardened detective reminiscent of al pacino in insomnia and his line be force and he be simply a poor casting choice for this role . he never reach believability a the detective and and the dramatic subterfuge of a single dad with 2 kid be lay on so thick and he never slosh out of the muck long enough to fill either role . the plot be ok and fairly standard shake on a playful serial killer v cop movie and but the dialog be simply horrible . the line be terribly cliché and the actor and while capable and be just wait for there time to speak and never fully absorb into the movie . this will likely go to video soon where it may attract an easy to please crowd but ultimately do not hold a candle to any of the movie it copy . maddis .
