The Doctor Alison Eastwood is a solid B-list actress. She's not going to win any Oscars for this kind of work, but there's a reason she keeps getting hired. Quite simply, she brings home the bacon.The reason the so-called occult mysticism is dropped early in the movie is explained quite clearly by the unfolding plot. There's a little celeb skin for those who go for that.Judd Nelson's character is a non-entity who feeds the cops information; although it's the first time I've seen an FBI priest in a movie. I suspect actor John Rhys-Davies has fallen on hard times; this is not up to the A-list movie roles he has landed so far. He looks like he has lost a lot of weight in recent years; his character was believable, though somewhat thinly-spread (no pun intended).It's a murder mystery, a serial killer movie, and has an interesting twist at the end. If you're hoping for the next Sixth Sense, don't bother. But if you like solid made-for-cable cop movies, it's entertaining.

sth_Weird This movie has a really low rating and I only got it because Judd Nelson is in it. I very much value him as a gorgeous character actor, who unfortunately usually ends up in crappy movies. This is not his best performance, either, but it's believable and definitely better than those of some of the other cast (which wasn't brilliant but also not as bad as other people here say in my opinion). So I expected a bad movie. Surprise surprise! I liked it a lot. Yeah there are certain elements you have already seen in other movies. Which movie today does not have elements already been used? It's unavoidable. I found the movie very exciting and not predictable at all. As a matter of fact, I suspected many of the characters to be the murderer. I was looking for the clues in everything they said and did, and I enjoyed it a lot (except for this stupid and over-long love scene, it's not that love scenes bother me I actually like them when they fit in, but this one did not fit in at all it was simply pointless)! But then there came the end. I don't know how one of the other people who wrote a comment was able to predict the ending. Because I did not see it coming at all. For me, it was simply unexpected and pointless. It ruined the movie for me. I would have given it a 8/10 if somebody else did it. But this way...5/10, and I'm being very grateful here!

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?)

otheq I went to the video store and was looking for a thriller. I saw a "recommend" on this one.I don't get where all the bad comments are coming from. I thought the film was really very goo. Of course most of the ones I've read can't seem to write very well.I found the story, acting and all around feel of the film was compelling.The weakest of the group was the lead, Allison Eastwood, but even she held your interest.It reminded me of "Seven."It's worth a look.
