Good premise

terribly executed. I mean total amateur hour....or, more precisely, amateur 89 mins. Best part: the killer, after taking two bullets to the torso and one right through the front of his head (causing his brain matter to spill onto the patio), manages to get up and attack the cop only to be killed by a kick to the groin and a half story fall. WTF!!

Wasn't it great?! That tiny little cop beating the stuffing out of that enormous hulk who could easily have broken him like a twig.

This seems like a textbook case of how not to write and direct a film. It's always a pleasure to see Adrienne Barbeau – and we see quite a bit of her here – but this movie is a muddled mess. 5/10 stars from me.
