Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

guilfisher-1 To begin with this is one movie when I wanted the lead to be the next victim. Alison Eastwood, unfortunately didn't inherit any of her dad's talent. A completely unbelievable performance. I can accept anything in these bad made for TV movies on LMN, but not this one. I couldn't believe how this inept detective gets away with what she does. Taking on a man twice her size in one punch; tripping a guy with a gun. C'mon gimme a break. She plays the role with the emotional level of a minus 10. Monotone voice, blank facial expressions and absolutely no sex appeal, this was a mistake. I guess when your father's a star you get all the breaks. Everyone else in this loser I won't embarrass them by mentioning their names. I'll give them a break to help them forget this experience with Eastwood's bad acting. She can't be serious about a career. Please.

Marco Dear Readers, to make it short and plain for the ones in a hurry: 'Beware!' This is probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I never waited for an end of a movie so much, that's why it was a happy end at least for me, when it was finally over.I am quite convinced that nobody with only a little bit of an artistic approach or a soft spot for a good story or nice pictures or a solid camera or anything is able to like this movie at all. None of that was in the movie.The direction was totally miserable, the acting much worse and even the camera work was just appearing semi-artistic to me. The storyline was supposed to be a 'nightmare', and it really turned out to be one, but not as intended by the tended viewer. I found it to be boring and uninspired, there was no red-line visible due to weird and unconnected turns of the story and also a lot of dead end plots.Since the story and characters did not work out, there was not even a little bit of tension noticeable. What was e.g. all that talking about all these weird symbols at the site of crime about? Why was (it in) the movie at all? Just to give this silly, intransparent and unnecessary hint to the murderer? How dull can it get?It really looks like somebody has been trying to take 'all the cool content' from other movies, but surprise, it did not fit together and nobody wanted to play it with a 'soul'.Allison Eastwood in fact was acting so badly, that every little bit of atmosphere was immediately destroyed with the first word of hers. She was not into her character at all, trying play that tough woman. Is Clints daughter supposed to be like that? If so, it certainly did not work out at all. She would be good as a newsreader though, keeping her voice that neutral and unemotional. Sorry Allison, no movie with you again. Even John Rhys-Davies was surprisingly bad, but with a set of so boring and flat characters, even good actors are only able to fail.I am willingly to forgive that the movie was totally unrealistic, since I personally don't expect that necessarily from a Hollywood making. But at least good cinematic handicraft and some passion of the actors I would have expected, besides that uninteresting story.Stay away from this movie, it is a waste of money and a shame in my eyes. You will watch your clock more than the movie, in the hope that it will run faster so you can do something nice instead. It was a total waste of time for me.

movieman_kev Slight off-balance police inspector Palmer (Alison Eastwood) works with Father Brian (Judd Nelson) to solve for a religion-based killer, while she deals with her teen-aged goth sister. Huge plot holes, faulty logic, an un-likable 'heroin' and the fact that the movie just trudges on make this crime thriller awful.It's one of those direct to video flicks that you'd likely find early in the morning on cable, but even if you do stumble across it don't bother watching.My Grade: D- Eye Candy: Alison Eastwood gets topless, Andrea Runge gets full frontal (yea she's dead at the time, but what ya gonna do,ya know?)

rickblain20 This film was recommended to me at the video store. I did not expect the film to be this good. I found the story to be very compelling, the acting was good. I read that the lead, Allson Eastwood, is Clint's daughter, you can see the resemblance.The snow scenes give the film a very creepy element, which adds to the mood.The violence is not over the top, which most thrillers seem to attempt.They spent some money on the look of the film. And there is a neat little twist at the end.I would recommend the film.Rick
