Samuel Browne is a tracker in Alaska. When his sister meets a grisly death in San Francisco, he goes there to hunt her killer. As more murders occur, police investigator Buckley Clarke reluctantly joins forces with Sam. The brass are convinced this is a serial killer choosing victims at random, but Sam and Buckley discover a pattern involving health personnel who work in neonatal intensive care. Doctors aren't supposed to play god, but someone's decision years before has driven a killer over the brink. Can they find him?

ada the leading man is my tpye
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.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
rdwrrior-1 We could have gone to bed early and passed into month-long COMAs and have better spent our time!!! Condroddy Syndrome: No Such Thing. How does Robert Patrick find out where the cops are going, show up and anticipate his next moves including fer-shure foreknowledge that the FBI's number one suspect was not their man?? Who needed Lauren Holly in this Mish-mash anyway. Did her boss the Lieutenant pack tube socks in his cheeks? Why did the coroner have a ring in her nose, she appeared to be still in her early twenties. And doesn't that position require twenty years of med school at least? No one on the force appeared to have any other case open, this was their ENTIRE EFFORT for at least a week or two. The killer was suspiciously lacking in any visible impairments except for a churlish bad temper and a complexion reminiscent of Powder. Which could explain the bad temper. So, Maybelline it up and try out for Band little buddy!
flordepuros WOW!!! I rented this 60 carat gem with very little expectation of enjoyment. I have often thought of Lauren Holly's early work to be reminiscent of a sexier, more self-assured Rita Hayworth, but have found her recent efforts to be beneath her unusually high standards. Well, I am thrilled to report SHE'S BACK!!! This tight, brilliantly lensed 90 minutes of noir afrique has restored my faith not only in the movie biz but has repaired a long sundered relationship with God. Movies, when they work like this have a transforming effect on the soul and outlook of the audience. After viewing this film, which is like a cross between Bullitt and Silence of the Lambs (but is much better than either) I awoke abruptly at 4 in the morning, dropped to my knees and prayed until dawn, feeling as clean and shiny as a newborn's colon. I then sat on the toilet with cigar and coffee, and had a blissful and worry-free afternoon.
Bschorr It's an interesting idea and it's well filmed, but there are so many little plot problems that it became almost comical. "Sam" is supposed to be an expert tracker, but just about everybody gets the drop on him. The "FBI" folks are predictably inept and [MINOR SPOILER]my wife and I figured out that the killer was using the handicap buses very early.[END SPOILER]The police seem to overlook the most basic of procedures (find out the connection between the victims?) until the 11th hour while they're extremely impressed with the most basic capabilities (they zoomed in on a photograph; wow, imagine that.)A few B-movie cinematic effects don't help matters. At least the acting is decent; I feel sorry for Robert Patrick who probably deserves better.
Jay Harris Pavement---starts off quite disturbingly as a premature baby is being born, Now whats going to happen??NEXT we meet ROBERT PATRICK a so-so actor whose main claim to fame was as alien life form killer. This time he is a tracker of animals in Alaska. he is informed that his sister has been killed, & off he goes. With the help of a Female police officer they solve the case. Oh me, Oh my, we have seen this film before many time in many guises. Pavement is no worse of better than others in this genre.Rating **1/2 73 points/100 IMDB 6
