Storyline

Old-fashioned NYPD detective Charlie Daines, a grave long cancer sufferer, feels out of his depth when as serial killer posts his gruesomely imaginative murders, mostly on top managers, on Internet, first spotted by his couch-potato son Vinnie. The brass rather confides the high-profile case to 'nerds', champion of whom is wheelchair-stuck Adam Sotrel. Charlie systematically alienates everybody, family and colleagues, but finds an angle to approach the case.

How do I get a hold of this movie?

I saw a rough preview of this about a year ago in the UK and now am desperately looking for a DVD of it. Does anyone have any idea what happened with it or where it was released,how I can find it, etc? By the way, I actually thought it was a neat film. Great idea for a thriller, just wished it had more money behind it. Assante does a really great job in it and some of the other characters, Sonny Marinelli and Morven Christie especially, really impressed me. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think anyone else has made a film about a killer who puts his killings on the web...? An interesting comment on modern society. Anyway, would really like to see the finished product if anyone has any leads. Cheers!
