This movie has a very good start, an interesting serial killer but lack completely on the storyline. It is not that the storyline was done on the rush and have plot holes. It is more that the movie finds itself kept between two ideas unable to decide which one it should follow. The first one is the conventional thriller which is made of pieces of puzzle to follow that a psychopath left behind because of his own megalomania and for the pleasure of the viewer to understand before the main agent of the movie does. The second is an original approach that consists to enhance the link and even fascination that exists between the bright agent and the killer to its paroxysm to try to play with the viewer on his conception of what is bad and what is right (Hannibal). Because this movie is not able to make a choice we find ourselves frustrating on both sides. It would be better to watch the Bone collector and after The Silence of the lambs rather than this in between movie.
