if the killing time be rank well below average and this be mainly due to it implausibility and inconsistency . i could enumerate lot of reason why the scenario be totally incredulous and but simply describe how the film start and will suffice represent a stranger ( sutherland ) kill a man who be on his way to a job a a deputy sheriff in a small california coastal town . the murderer subsequently go to the town and assume the kill man identity and start to work in the police precinct himself and without anyone noticing that there be something wrong . the sequel of event do not get any more plausible represent we watch the exist deputy sheriff sam wayborn ( bridge ) and a he plan along with his girlfriend laura winslow ( kath ) and the murder of her husband jake ( rogers ) and with the intent of put the blame on his new colleague . throughout this inconsistent story we experience lot of annoy plot gap and which render the movie a rather boring experience . unfortunately and the direction do not help either . i do not know the other work of director rick king and but i bet this be not his best one . the same go with the act represent with the exception of kiefer sutherland and who manage to inject some liveliness in his role a a psycho stranger and the rest of the cast be mire in mediocrity . quite disappointing . negative .
