Serial killer thriller starts off well and is really exciting for it's first hour or so, but then kinda collapses.
Dennis Quaid is FBI agent Frank LaCrosse, who is in search of a serial killer. This serial killer hasn't been killing for a couple of months, but then starts killing again in the district of Sheriff Buck Olmstead, and him and LaCrosse try to catch him.
That's one side of the story. The nice touch here though comes from the other side, the killer's. You see, we have two men cruising the country (Jared Leto and Danny Glover). One of them is the killer... but who is it?
This set-up works pretty well for the first hour or so, but once we know who the killer is there isn't much to enjoy anymore. In particular because the movie has some side-elements that don't make much sense (I won't bore you with them now, but they include kidnapped sons and an election). The ending really was too much... too bad as it started out so good.
Conclusion: slightly above average, but could've been better: 6/10.
