A good detective story, even if a little too deferential to the stereotypes of the genre. The protagonist is a young agent who stubbornly investigates a serial killer even when his superior invites him not to be interested. When he conducts interrogations, he always leaves a note at the end with the recommendation: "If you remember anything, call me". His colleague is obviously a beautiful woman (Megan Fox, a little less valid as an actress). There is also the scene with his troublesome wife who tells him: "You must remember that you also have a family". The killer then is the usual Jekyll-Hyde: a very affectionate father and ruthless torturer of women (but why? The film doesn't explain it to us). Luckily we are spared the quarrel scenes between colleagues, as happens in many other films of the same genre. Moreover, unlike what the manifesto suggests, the presence of Bruce Willis is limited to a few scenes and is substantially superfluous. Finally, a passing observation: when will they learn that beer is drunk in a glass?
