Randy Quaid is not cut out for the role of the inspector Steve., 21 June 2001

The hunt for a serial killer who targets young running champions.

A perfectly oiled thriller – which is not surprising when one knows that it is adapted from a short story by Ed McBain. Only notice : one recognises badly the inspector Steve under Randy Quaid's.
