Red Team
(2000)
|
While investigating the mysterious deaths of two notorious mass murderers, FBI agent Jason Chandler (Patrick Muldoon) discovers that many other serial killer suspects have recently vanished without trace. Chandler soon realises there's a killer slaughtering the serial killers.... |
It's a nifty premise — a serial killer who specialises in murdering fellow serial killers. But sadly director Jeremy Haft fails to make the most of the opportunity and the result is routine police thriller. Patrick Muldoon and Cathy Moriarty are the FBI agents who have a crisis of conscience when they cotton on to the fact that someone else is doing their job for them — and that the killer may actually be one of their own. It has its moments, but the game is given away far too early and the moral ambiguities posed by the story are largely left unexplored.
