Review by Mark Strelok ★★★

I first saw this film a long time ago on television, and boy has it not aged well. Too long, some questionable acting, and an unfair ending make this superficially standard, but some brilliant moments shine through. The style heavily mirrors the entertaining forensics of old-school CSI Las Vegas, the murder scenes look like something out of a decent horror film, and Robert Patrick seemed to not realize that nobody else showed up to act and gave a great performance.
A re-edit with some script fixing, better actors, and less bloat would make for a great theatrical film.
