This is a B-movie through and through, but thanks in large part to a deep cast of familiar faces and reliable character actors, it's a solid crime thriller that respects the true-life blueprint of the story.

This trashy trawl through a fictionalized version of the “West Mesa Murders" is the kind of dubiously moralizing exploitation exercise that makes Sound of Freedom look like a noble class act by comparison.

It's interesting, but you have to know going in that the basic case was never solved, and they stay true to that.

The culprit behind these murders has still never been found, which this screenplay mostly uses as fodder for a bit of psycho-thriller exploitation.

A good crime suspense movie that held our attention with a great finish. Lots of intrigue and misdirection in the plot which is always good trying to work out who the bad guy is.

Really poor casting, with 'Fiddy' seemingly reading everything from a prompter he's that bad! It's clunky, feels tired and lacking authentic energy and desire, and there's no suspense as a result. It's a sad story that could be told so much better!

After the Passion of the Christ, and other movies, plus investments, Mel Gibson is apparently very wealthy. So, why appear in movies like this. The script is very wooden and a lot of the supporting cast, poor. If he wants to work, why not produce his own movies with reasonably capable people. There is a scene in the movie set 20 years back with his character's daughter. He looks exactly the same as the current day character, even down to the hairstyle and clothes. It just seems like they didn't bother making the scene realistic. There is a certain sadness or regret in seeing stars we grew up with working in work that is not of the standard we are used to. And, as a Director, apart from his last movie, Mel Gibson is right up there.
