Two detectives hunt for a serial killer who is using his victims as puppets in a psychotic story that he’s trying to tell. As the victims add up, they struggle to decipher the moral to his story, and stop him from killing again.
I wasn’t impressed. The cover art led me to believe it was a lot darker than it turned out to be, and it was just a little slow for my taste. I don’t have the patience for a thriller unless it’s really good, and they all just seem so similar to me. There were actually some aspects of Fate that were gone about in a very fresh way. Even the stuff I saw coming were sometimes done in a way that was interesting.
It was a decent story, well acted and with a very interesting cast, but not what I was looking for. Too often I found myself wishing it would hurry up and by the end I was a little frustrated with it.
Lee Majors, Michael Paré and Philip Michael Thomas play the main characters, and that did spice it up some for me. There were some good scenes and some good ideas, but I couldn’t bring myself to enjoy it.
Mostly it just seemed unremarkable. I didn’t hate it, didn’t dislike it, I was kind of unaffected. It’s the type of thing that will play a lot late nights on The Movie Channel, probably, but it’s not the kind of thing I’d choose to watch.
