Good suspense and based on a true case....

A. Martinez is very good as fellow profiler who works with Agent Candace DeLong and Jean Smart as FBI Profiler Agent Candace DeLong, who must find a serial killer in Chicago before more women are murdered.

Robert Joy ( also a cameo in "Longtime Companion" c. 1989 and "Sweet November") is also good as Dr. Sutter; quite menacing as a fertility specialist expert who resents women, and feels he has the power to murder any women who are unfit mothers (according to his warped mind).

Basically a good suspense film, DeLong is a well known and prolific FBI profiler who is frequently consulted by Dr Park Dietz, the famed forensic psychiatrist. Recommended 8/10.
