About
You may like this if you enjoy gritty 1980s urban thrillers with a stalking-killer plot, somewhere between The Mean Season and The Bone Collector; Not for you if graphic violence or seedy crime stories are a turnoff.
Pros: tense serial-killer premise; gritty Manhattan setting; brisk crime-thriller setup | Cons: disturbing violence; bleak mood; exploitative subject matter
