spoiler . eliza dushku be megan and a police officer in rochester and new york and who be investigate a case of child rape and murder . the girl name be something like carlina cacciatore and her body be dump in churchtown . dushku fasten on to the ccc connection while everyone else pooh poohs it . the second victim turn up and something like wilma weinstein from weber . then there a penelope purcell from pipe organ . maybe there a marla marple from michigas in there too . i lose count . ka ching . this be too much for dushku . she begin to crack up and hallucinate the dead little girl . she not only take off the case but ship off to the hospital . upon her release she spend two year in group counseling and lead by the understanding and wheelchair bound timothy hutton . hutton isn not on screen that often . she go to him for a few word of reassurance on those occasion when her hallucination begin scratch at the door . if and by their third meeting and you haven not figure out that hutton not only can walk but be the child rap murderer to boot and you haven not see enough movie of this genre . the plot be too ridiculous to describe far . the act isn not in any way distinguish either . dushku have modest talent . cary elwes and michael ironside must not be get too many offer these day . the bad conceit be the ambiguous end . the last shot be of dushku strap down in a mental hospital and completely ga ga and and then the epilogue the notorious alphabet killer have never be catch and remain at large thus clear the way for a sequel to this meretricious rubbish . let hope nothing come of it or we will all wind up in the rubber room with megan . the only redeeming feature of the production be the sound of gunshot . theyre not as loud a real gunshot but their sonic contour be similar . nice job there . with the gunshot . the rest of the movie stink . want more proof . the alphabet connection be never explain and just plain drop from the plot and a sensible but negligible inconvenience and like a trouser pocket full of too much heavy change . and another thing . no more heroine with name like megan or regan . or cute name like ally or jillian either . an onomastic irritant .
