Killer Among Us
14 May 2021
If you ignore the thinly disguised though obvious political agenda, this isn't a bad thriller. A serial killer who has been preying on young black prostitutes with impunity is caught in flagrante delicto kidnapping his next victim, but bluffs his way out of it. The off-duty rookie female patrol officer concerned follows up with a typical policeman's hunch, or policewoman's in this case, and after convincing a cynical older detective that evil is afoot, they launch a missing person investigation.

Then the bad guy loses it, stabbing to death a white nightclub worker and shooting dead a shopkeeper in quick succession, the second because he realises the game is up. The finale isn't quite what you would expect, suffice it to say it's lucky this guy was a humble serial killer rather than a terrorist because in his woodland hideaway he had enough ordnance to blow up half the county.
