There always are holes in crime thrillers and police procedurals. A couple of them grated but in the main, they could be overlooked.

I'm not going to make this a long review. The film is not profound in any way and has enough of a plot, in fact a couple of strands, to hold the viewers attention. In reality, no serial killer such as this one would not have been caught before. But then, in films, murderers have the ability to disappear into thin air just like that.

I have to say the ending and final scenes were sick-making and saccharine but it's hard to see how else the scriptwriters could have finished on an optimistic note.

It's worth a watch to while away part of an evening. I have the series to look at next.
