Thanks for the memories!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

**MINOR SPOILERS HEREIN**I ran across this movie while looking for something to watch late night. This was the only thing on at the time that was even remotely interesting. Ugh I should have just gone to bed.Robert Patrick stars as a wilderness tracker who assists a homicide detective (Lauren Holly) to find a serial killer who is bumping off doctors and nurses. Holly was a horrific choice for the female lead and was terrible in this role. Patrick was stiff throughout, thanks in large part to the writing of his character which really makes him a very unsympathetic lead.Speaking of the writing, it's really awful, especially in the detective's case. Her lines are atrocious and her delivery was comical. Similarly, the killer was entirely bad. You shouldn't be laughing at the end, should you?Also, the police force in this movie would be hands down the worst department in the world. The SWAT team several times gets lit up like a Christmas tree without coming even close to hitting the perpetrator while the perps can't miss. One scene in particular towards the end with the two cops at a suspect's house, they might be legally retarded.The tracking used in the movie seems pretty ridiculous. Patrick's character can figure out which way someone went by their tracks, okay fine. But that's literally ALL he does, as he does it over and over again while people watch on with amazement. And where did police work go? I guess when you employ the dumbest cops on the planet in one department, you're not apt to figure things out on your own. The cops seem baffled with every crime despite apparently doing no actual investigating. I suppose they were hoping the killer would still be there when they got there, maybe he fell asleep on the couch or something.I give this movie a 2/10.

WOW!!! I rented this 60 carat gem with very little expectation of enjoyment. I have often thought of Lauren Holly's early work to be reminiscent of a sexier, more self-assured Rita Hayworth, but have found her recent efforts to be beneath her unusually high standards. Well, I am thrilled to report SHE'S BACK!!! This tight, brilliantly lensed 90 minutes of noir afrique has restored my faith not only in the movie biz but has repaired a long sundered relationship with God. Movies, when they work like this have a transforming effect on the soul and outlook of the audience. After viewing this film, which is like a cross between Bullitt and Silence of the Lambs (but is much better than either) I awoke abruptly at 4 in the morning, dropped to my knees and prayed until dawn, feeling as clean and shiny as a newborn's colon. I then sat on the toilet with cigar and coffee, and had a blissful and worry-free afternoon.

(SLIGHT SPOILERS): There is nothing really new in this film. You have your female tough acting cop who teams up with an Alaskan tracker to solve what appears to be serial murders. And of course along the way the 2 fall for each other even though they have nothing in common. And of course the tracker gets caught by the killer, but for some unknown reason, the killer decides to take him alive. Then the cop uses what she's learned about tracking to find out where the killer has taken her partner. And if it is so easy to be a tracker through woods, then why can't everyone do it. It is not very believeable that the cop is able to do this.
This would have been better if they had added more gore. There really isn't too much in this. And they don't show the crime scenes very much. And the killer, who is supposed to be born with all these genetic defects, doesn't really look all that messed up. They could have made him really disfigured. Give him some fish gills or an extra arm or something like that.
FINAL VERDICT: If you didn't know better, you would think this was another X-Files episode with Robert Patrick. This is definitely a TV type of movie. It is OK for what it is.

The plot, development and resolution of "Pavement" were excellent. The suspense kept my interest from start to finish. The characters were realistic and dimensional. The action was good too. I think the director was a little free with police officers as fodder for various occasions; but beyond that I liked what I saw. I enjoy those gritty, realistic, but not overblown cop films, and this is a good one. The element of the tracker as an imaginative addition to the plot was excellent.I am a total Lauren Holly fan; and I thought she played her role flawlessly as a determined and professional detective, who is still very much a woman. She pulled it off with great aplomb. She is always a great pleasure to watch in anything she does.If you like really exciting and suspense-filled cop movies, see this one. To say any more might spoil the impact of all the elements that come together in this intriguing film. Just sit back and enjoy it.
