Denzel Washington and Rami Malek are two cops tracking down a serial killer in this crime thriller written and directed by John Lee Hancock (The Highwaymen). Co-stars Oscar-winner Jared Leto as the prime suspect.
Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe "Deke" Deacon (Washington) is sent to Los Angeles for what should have been a quick evidence-gathering assignment. Instead, he becomes embroiled in the search for a killer who is terrorizing the city. Leading the hunt, L.A. Sheriff Department Sergeant Jim Baxter (Malek), impressed with Deke’s cop instincts, unofficially engages his help. But as they track the killer, Baxter is unaware that the investigation is dredging up echoes of Deke’s past, uncovering disturbing secrets that could threaten more than his case.

"Excruciatingly dull..."
Newshub"In case you've never seen a crime thriller about guilt and obsession before, here's another one."
Collider"To enjoy the film on its own cookie-cutter terms depends on finding pleasure, guilty or otherwise, in tropes recycled with total straight-faced conviction."
A.V. Club"Pulpy and ridiculous and requires some major suspension of belief..."
IndieWire"There are little things here that work but the big problems are impossible to ignore."
The Guardian"A 1990s crime thriller that's been sitting on a shelf for 20 or so years. Honestly, it probably should have stayed there."
USA Today"It's hard to shake the feeling that it's added up to, well, nothing."
RogerEbert.com"A slow-burn mood piece more consumed with character and smolder, perhaps, than in the payoff of its central mystery."
Entertainment Weekly"Nothing much happens."
Vanity Fair"A throwback thriller which brings nothing new to a crowded genre, and has little to say along the way."
Empire Magazine"Simultaneously pleasurable and a bit unsettling, in both the good and bad senses of that word."
The Washington Post"A relic."
