Movie Info

Sam Staziak (Daniel Quinn), a rookie cop with the Los Angeles Police Department, is also a "scanner" who can read, control and even destroy the minds of others. He takes drugs to suppress his self-destructive powers. But a series of cop killings by otherwise law-abiding citizens seems like a mystery only a scanner can solve, so Staziak's boss and adoptive dad, Cmdr. Harrigan (Richard Grove), asks the rookie to go off his meds and track down whoever is turning average folks into assassins.

Audience Reviews for Scanner Cop

Mar 27, 2009

Stupid title but better than average straight to video quasi-sequel to Cronenberg's Scanners. Followed by it's own sequel, Scanners: The Showdown.

This spin-off of <i>Scanners</i> is good what the filmmakers try a new tack to keep the series alive: the scanner joins the police department. The special effects are more abstract this outing, hoping to pump some new life into the franchise.
