About the film

A city at the center of chaos. A detective with special skills. A madman testing her limits.

What it’s about

On New Year's Eve in Baltimore, a sniper kills dozens of people amid fireworks, leaving no evidence. FBI chief investigator Lammark has no leads, but he notices Eleanor, a young police officer whose professional actions and deep understanding of the killer's character stand out. He brings her into the investigation, and together they must track a psychopath who could strike again at any moment.

What hooks you

Damián Szifron directs Shailene Woodley as Eleanor and Ben Mendelsohn as Lammark. The film's short description calls it a social thriller, and the slogan suggests that to catch a killer, one must enter his mind. The only scene actually shot in Baltimore was the New Year's fireworks.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who like crime investigations that focus on profiling and the psychology of a killer, and who enjoy thrillers where the tension comes from a race against time with no clear evidence.
