For the first time in recent memory I sat down and watched a tv movie. I'd heard of this a while back, and while I didn't expect much, how could I miss with a stellar cast including Sam Jackson and Andy Garcia. Ashley Judd was also in it. Here's my IMDB.com review.
Jessica Shepard (Judd, in her most dominant role since "Double Jeopardy") is a tough cop who has just been promoted to detective. Not long after this she gets called into investigate some murders with an apparent link- Jessica has recently expressed her love physically with each man. She is soon an obvious suspect, however none of her fellow cops believe she could have done it. These workmates include Chief John Mills (Jackson, in his most powerful role since "Snakes On A Plane"), her partner Mike (Garcia) and creepy Jimmy (Mark Pellegrino). When a few weird things happen, she's not sure who she can trust. Was it really Jessica all along, or someone we never would have suspected?
Just awful. A terrible, slow story which throws plenty of curveballs to try to throw us off the scent. Not gripping at any stage at all due to the ridiculous amounts of clues it tries to drop that are obvious diversions. Add to that a terrible ending and you've just wasted 2 hours of your life. Avoid at all costs.
