    Not bad, could have been better
    The story is a little far-fetched, however Bruce Davison's presence on screen managed to compensate for that in part. His character as the cool killer is enjoyable to watch and suitably un-nerving. On the whole a little of a wasted chance at a serious social comment, but a fine performance from Bruce none the less.
