Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe villain has a lot of similarities to real-life NYC serial killer David Berkowitz (also known as the "Son of Sam" and dubbed the ".44 Caliber Killer" by the media). Like the Son of Sam, the killer in this film is referred to as the ".44 Magnum Killer" by the media, commits his crimes in New York City, appears to hear voices (as the Son of Sam once said he did), and taunts the police.
- GoofsWrapping a gun, especially one as powerful as the .44 Magnum, in a towel will hardly dampen the sound of the gunshot. In fact, it's more likely to set the towel on fire due to the enormous muzzle flash.
- Quotes
Eugene Hunt: Death is the best kick of all. That's why they save it for last.
Featured review
I agree.
I agree with the reviewer prior to me. I am actually taking a film class at my college and we brought up the same points the last reviewer did.
It wasn't the best coherent film I seen.
The fact that the killer "mysteriously" knew where the protagonist was all the time and also knew all about her parents and friends was pretty absurd.
Not to sound redundant, but I agree that a little more info on the history of the murderer would have helped the audience when it came to perceiving and understanding the movie.
In the other side, when it comes to suspense I guess the movie is okay. If you're the type of person that doesn't care about how coherent a plot is and just like to see action, then you will like this film.
