Extremely entertaining film about a cop (Woods) who tries to hunt down a criminal who is murdering women downtown in an apparently random order. I saw this on AMC one Friday night, very late, and I was blown away. Great acting, particularly by James Woods, and just a very fine film with a good fade-to-black ending.
It's sort of dumb and predictable sometimes, but it's one of the best endings I can remember in recent years.
4/5 stars.
