Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

caa821 Sometimes I get the impression when the produces/director/cast/crew for the "made-for-tv" movies cross the border into Canada (as they often do,), some sort or ray or odorless gas descends upon them -- causing movies to be less than they otherwise should be.Some of them (unfortunately, all too few) should be excellent, but are only "good;" those which should be good, turn-out only "fair;" and so on.This one could have been "O.K," or "fair." But it was pretty bad.The performances were fairly good, and the actors/characters somewhat engaging. But an average story went downhill as events progressed, and the ending was contrived, a bit silly, and about the most boring and unimaginative in the history of film-- in Canada or anywhere else.

Katatonia I really thought the first hour of this movie was really exceptional. However, the last 30+ minutes of the movie literally ruin it. The plot simply becomes too unbelievable to suspend your disbelief. And the ending is just a big disaster as far as movie endings go.

George Parker "Hangman" is yet another by-the-numbers TV serial killer mystery with that sun-never-shines Canadian dreariness all over it. Featuring two under-rated B-movie stars, Phillips as a homicide cop and Amick as a rich and retired shrink, "Hangman" spins a yarn about murder using the child's word game of the title name played via computer with real people getting hung. The film does little to distinguish itself and many will find the ending unsatisfying. However, it also does little wrong, making it a worthwhile small screen watch, albeit marginally so. Just drama with no stunts, shootouts, sex (almost), or sensationalism. (C)

Jack the Ripper1888 This movie smells like something that has been sitting on the shelf for a long, long time and is finally being brought down. HANGMAN is one of the worst suspense thrillers that I have ever seen. It isn't even thrilling. Or interesting. Nothing about this tripe is good. None of it. The "twists" at the end were stupid too. There wasn't even a good final blowout. Instead it just ends with Lou Diamond Philips walking off into the distance. There is very little originality. It is just the same as many of those other cop movies that we see. Killer kills people and two cops must team up with the hott witness who can help them find the killer. Same old, same old. The best parts of the entire movie were probably the sex scenes. Don't see this. The back of the box makes it sound like some good scary suspense movie. What it is, is a steaming pile of dog s*** disguised as a movie.....1/5.
