It'd be a far more interesting movie without the detective...it's a conventional, commercial cop/killer movie when he's on screen and an edgy, passionate one without him.

A small but bracing breath of fresh air; if a little under-told, its problems at least stem from a creative gait that’s refreshingly out of lockstep with the Hollywood-ized regurgitation of indie film convention.

Like an old relative you haven't seen in ten years, you know the story of Dischord, but enough has changed to make for an interesting visit.

The wintery New England landscape is the most striking thing about the film, but it's not interesting enough to justify watching it for 100 minutes.

A bunch of loosely gathered storylines strung together with mostly rote dialogue, stilted performances and a disquieting sense of meaninglessness.

A hackneyed, by-the-numbers race against the clock to stop a serial killer from striking again.

The story is so crowded with incident and implication as to be both nonsensical and impossible to act, so the actors, when they are not bursting into fits of temper, smile mysteriously.

If [Wilkinson] is at times arty and self-conscious, he shows promise as a deep-digging and personal filmmaker.

A disappointing hodgepodge that fails to tie up its conflicting strands of family drama and suspense thriller.
02/27/03
Writer-director Mark Wilkinson gracefully elides backstories while arranging his converging narratives into a neat fugue, but the overall preciousness of his conception is suffocating.

Top Critic
A husband's jealousy, a brother's fury make for a good story marred by a woefully inadequate budget.

A beautiful to look at thriller/drama, but lacking a good story to go with its gorgeous Cape Cod winter setting.
