***SPOILER ALERT*** Bizarre crime thriller involving these two masked serial killers who have left a bloody trail of some two dozen bodies in their murderous rampage across the South-Western USA. The only surviving victims of the masked killers are Officer Jack Bennet, Kent Harper, drug user Bobbie Prescott, Pell James, and eight-your old Stephanie, Ryan Simpkins, who's entire family was wiped out by the serial killers.
Having FBI Agents Liz Anderson & Sam Hallaway, Julia Ormond & Bill Pullman, sent down to New Mexico to investigate the case they get little cooperation from both Officer Bennet and Bobbie Prescott in trying to find out who the serial killers, and what their motives, are. It turns out that Bennet and his partner the now murdered , by the killers, Jim Conrad, French Stewart, have been anything but good cops-in their idiotic and vicious good cop bad cop routine-and in a way were as much as responsible in what happened to the killer victims as the killers themselves were! As for Bobbie she in being a both drug addict and seller, Bobbie and her boyfriend had ripped off their drug supplier after he overdosed on his own coke, may very well end up going to jail if she tells Agents Anderson & Hallaway about the circumstances that got her into the mess, involved in a mass murder, that she finds herself in now.
It's little and Innocent Stephanie who's eyewitness account of what happened-in the highway mass murder-they may well crack the case wide open for the investigating FBI Agent. Stephanie not only saw what happened but also can identify the two killers!****SPOILERS**** This leads the killers to show their hand and come out into the open. This also leads to one of the most horrific surprising as well and gut churning massacres in motion picture history!
Fascinating as well as disturbing movie that shows how sick and dangerous people can be and at the same time keep their sickness hidden from view and the public until the right time, for them to go into their murderous actions, comes along. The shocking as well as surprising ending in the movie leaves the audience almost speechless in that the killers, who were unknown up until then, practically morph-from being normal-into the cold-blooded and psychotic devils that they really are!
There's also in the film the very talented as well as underrated actor Michael Ironside as police Captain Billings. Ironside is given very little to do with his role as Captain Billings but have him dying to get a free cigarette-as he's at the same time fighting to overcome his tobacco addiction- from FBI Agent Hallawy. Captain Billings did get his wish, a free smoke, but it turned out to be the very last thing that he ever got, besides getting his brains blown out, in his life!
