The acting in this movie is really good.

The job of the director is to pull a performance out of an actor. This director couldn't pull a tab off a can of Dr. Pepper! Maybe the director was having a bad year?! All of the performance were lousy ... which basically shows you that some of our favorite actors aren't as talented as we thought we were. Stephanie Zimbalist basically played a character somewhat reminiscent of Valerie Harper, in voice only. She looked horrible with freckled and blotchy skin. Get with it people ... we don't want to see her looking bad, takes all the fun out of watching her. Dennis Hopper was his usual boring self ... just kidding! Dennis is Dennis ... nothing more, nothing less. Just an average actor. Joe Penny ... what a let down! The man was two legs short of a roasted boar ... a total disaster area! Do we really want our hero types playing villains? I think not! Basically, the movie is a flop ... and somewhat boring. Nothing new ... old dialogues, and old plots! Oh ... and Sandra Locke ... guess she's only good in a Clint Eastwood movie, because she stunk worse than anyone else! Over-acting, with no sincerity what-so-ever.

i did not sit through this movie, but i remember one specific scene: Hopper/Swan was walking with two other characters through a campus of some sort, and some extras pass between the camera and the trio. One is definitely a woman, wearing white pants, and she is walking and talking to another person. Later in the scene, we see them again in the background, and it appears the second person is also a woman.Does anyone know who the woman in white pants is or how to find out? I presume she is an extra provided by the Entertainement Casting Company, the firm who provided the extras to the set for this film. I would really like to see more of this actress, for sure!How would I learn more about her?

This film was on sale in Wal-Mart and I decided that for the price it was worth purchasing. As soon as the film began, I knew right from the start that I was going to enjoy this type of film. Dennis Hopper(Vincent Swan),"20th & Wolf",'05, played a retired detective who had some experience with a past serial killer whom he had killed. Vincent is called back to Los Angeles where the crime had taken place years ago and tried to assist the police department with this Cold Case. Stephanie Zimbalist,(Francis Aldobrandi),"Malpractice",'01, is assigned to Vincent Swan to work on the case together. There is an appearance of Sandra Locke,(Adele Highsmith),"Clean & Narrow",'99, who gives a great supporting role and it was great to see her acting without her ex live in bow, Clint Eastwood. If you like a mystery story from 1999, this is not a bad film to view.

Movie has a wonderful cast of talented actors in off-key roles for each; Dennis Hopper at the "good guy retired cop", Stephanie Zimbalist as a church-going cop with cropped hair (looks nothing like she did when in the series with Pierce Brosnan!) and Sondra Locke as the serial killer running the game. She is short cropped and looks very different than she did in any Clint Eastwood movie...I did not recognize her face, only her voice, and had was surprised at the end of the film to see it was her. Another recognizable voice is Michael Dorn (Who played the Klingon in Star Trek - The Next Generation) as a very authoritative, convincing cop.Worth it to watch for the cast and their wonderful performances alone and potentially great storyline...just something must have gotten lost between the translation and the story comes off as stiff and unbelievable in parts. Great special effects and still recommend renting this movie.
