Manthast Absolutely amazing

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

kapelusznik18 ****SPOILERS**** Low budget serial killer flick with Toronto Canada subbing for the Big Apple New York City having a killer on the loose with a strange hang-up of not only murdering his victims but photographing them and hacking off a part, an arm leg and even head, of their bodies. It's burned out FBI Agent Jason Enola, Chris Penn, who's recruited by his friend and fellow FBI Agent Brad Abraham, Michael Madsen, to track the killer down since he was on his case some 4 years ago that lead him to flip out in not being able to solve it. It's then that he locked himself away from society and become a recluse as well as have his wife with his two young daughters walk out on him.It's the movie's low production values that make it work by concentrating on Agent Enola & Abraham's mostly police work and not much else to get the job done. There's also a major side plot about psychiatrist Dr. Alyce Robertson, Jennifer Dale, who accidentally stumbles on to the killer during a group session involving a number of her patients with serious mental problems; One just released from prison after serving four years for murdering his wife. The movie teases us as well as Agent Enola in just who the killer is. And the clues to his identity is kept form the audience as well as Agent Enola until he himself becomes a victim and is on the brink of death and as if having an out of the body experience puts two and two together.****SPOILERS**** With Agent Enola shot and about to expire he suddenly gets superhuman strength and dashes out of the ambulance that's taking him to the hospital emergency ward to confront the killer who by then revealed who he or she is to a shocked Dr. Robertson the person whom the killer was after all along. Like Dr. Frankenstein the crazed and vengeful, towards Dr. Robertson, serial killer wanted her head to complete his operation in making the perfect woman from the parts of the women victims that he already murdered and hacked to pieces! But ended up a head short by the time the movie was over.

Claudio Carvalho When a killer kills a woman in an alley and brings her body with a severed arm to a movie theater, FBI Agent Brad Abraham (Michael Madsen) calls FBI Agent Jason Enola (Chris Penn) to help him in the investigation. Jason is an agent that destroyed his career and his family years ago obsessed to capture a serial killer; now the leads indicate that the same killer has just started a new crime spree. Soon the psychiatrist Dr. Alyce Robertson (Jennifer Dale) receives phone calls from the killer and she meets Abraham that asks her to talk to Jason. He asks to participate in a meeting with her patients William Frost (Chad McQueen); the agoraphobic Rachel Quinn (Terri Hawkes); Gail Morgan (Catherine Blythe); Jerry Saracen (Kenneth McGregor); and Eileen Gibbs (Thea Gill). Now Jason suspects that one of them might be the serial killer. Who might be? "Papertrail" is a low-budget thriller with a terrible story and an awful conclusion. The characters are poorly developed and Michael Madsen has a very small part to give his name to the credits. The explanation given by the killer is laughable. But the attitude of Dr. Robertson summoning her patients in the middle of the night is ridiculous. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Mensageiro da Morte" ("Messenger of the Death")

fuzaborsky Horrible acting, horrible writing, ridiculous story. I like Penn and Madsen and thought this may be good. Boy was I wrong. Like the earlier reviewer asked. Why was Madsen in this movie?? He did drift in and out and added absolutely nothing to the story and he did in fact disappear before the conclusion. Weird. I did get a laugh from how bad some of the writing was. Just listening to some of the lines being read was hilarious.

Mike (sutcal) This is a low budget serial killer movie that is low budget and not the best quality acting either. In most serial killer movies, there is a twist or the killer is one of the characters you get to know. I won't give the ending away other than the "who is the killer" at the end of the movie is badly done (overworked) and leaves you pretty disappointed. I am also continually amazed at the stamina shown from gun shot victims (observe Mr Penn towards the end).I am not sure what role Michael Marsden is playing in this movie. His character has no real bearing on the plot and fades in and out (and disappears before the end).Its not big budget, has no big names and really is a TV/Video movie at best. Expect nothing flash and you won't be disappointed. There is a slight story there for the viewing, but its nothing that hasn;t been seen and done over and over and over (and much better as well)Not worth the effort
