Scare: Quality: Story: Overall:
Denzel Washington plays the best crime scene forensic specialist who becomes a quadriplegic after an accident while searching a crime scene. Well, after a while, he is back at the job he does best after a very important man turns up dead and his wife is still missing. They find the wife after she is killed and more clues are found. There are a total of five murders that the serial killer has to accomplish before he can move on to his ultimate target. All I can say about the killer is that he is one of the people you meet, he is not a stranger. And pay close attention to eyes.
As for the movie, as you can see, there really isn't much to it. There is a bit more then I wrote, but I don't want to give everything away. Anyway, this was a good movie, but not great. That is because it is just too predictable. I was able to predict it right down to the gunshot. I hate to say it, but it wasn't what I expected. It was more after a shocker value then an actually good presentation. And the ending was rather predictable and disappointing I thought. Anyway... Denzel Washington did to a wonderful job and I applaud him in everything he has done. You can always count on him to do a great job in anything he does. Look out for his next film, not a horror movie, but a true story called "Hurricane". It should be good.
