There's something familiar about this one, but I just can't place it. A police investigator works with a serial killer to catch another serial killer. Didn't they do that in "Gas Pump Girls?"
Naw, it's on the tip of my tongue, I'll think of it in a minute. This flick is "based on a true story," which is one step up from "inspired by a true story," of investigator Robert Keppel working with Ted Bundy to find the Green River Killer in 1982. Unfortunately, Bundy is locked up in the Florida death house, so there's a whole heck of a lot of talkin'.
Six bodies. Zero breasts. Gratuitous profiler angst. Cop angst. Flashback fu.
Drive-In Academy Award nominations for Bruce Greenwood as profiler Bob Keppel, for saying, "As Ted Bundy says, 'Whatever gets your rocks off'"; Kathleen Quinlan as Bob's wife, for saying, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"; Sam Jaeger as Dave the young detective, for saying, "He's out there, Bob. Hunting. And we're not even close to stopping him"; David Brown as the Green River Killer, for saying, "I'm not a rapist. No. I'm a murderer"; and Cary Elwes as Ted Bundy, for doing scary serial killer eyes and saying, "You don't know what hell is!"
