Stars stephen dorff as detective callahan, a man with a past. When a bystander helps him after a shooting, he decides to return the favor. He reads the journal of a dead girl, and decides to do something about it. The whole film is a flashback, showing what led up to the opening scene. James woods is his police captain. It has some issues... the volume keeps jumping up and down. The script needed tightening up. Some editing mistakes. Some verrrry interesting tidbits in the trivia section, which may explain some things. And since callahan and logue look so similar, it's easy to get them confused. The basic story is pretty good, once we figure out what's going on, but it takes a while. ( the time lapse where we watch the night turn into day was actually pretty cool, at the halfway mark) its okay... with a little work, could have been better. Directed by brian miller. He seems to like stories about cops and killers. Story by john chase.
