As the alcoholic top cop in a small Massachusetts town, Tom Selleck gives one of his best performances in years. Having left California and his marriage, Selleck seems to settle in this cold town but a rape and serial killer soon keeps him hopping.
We never fully realize why the husband-wife killing team are doing what they're doing. Their characters are not fully developed and when they are not shooting, they are reciting some sort of nonsense or poetry. Even insane people have reasons for going on killing sprees.
After 3 killings in the town, the couple kill Selleck's girlfriend because she is too young for them. They claim they want to annoy him. Something is wrong with this kind of dialogue.
3 high school students rape a young girl but this has nothing to do with the serial killings. Maybe, had they tied the rape and the serial killings together, we would have had a better picture.
The film ends where I can see a possibility of Selleck doing a weekly show on his character. He is subtle here and delivers a powerful performance in an otherwise flawed production.
