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.
