Viewing Notes
A decent thriller about the uneasy relationship between a newspaper reporter and a serial killer. It brings up questions about whether the reporter is simply reporting the news, or is part of the news. The best thing about the film is its atmosphere of hot, humid, rainy south Florida. Kurt Russell is good, and Andy Garcia looks like a teenager.
