Plot by Imdb: "A rookie journalist looks to solve the increasingly vexing case of a serial killer on the loose."
Whoa ! The Brits did it again ! This is one of the best hardboiled crime movie I've seen in ages. This is really giving you the creeps. Why ? Because of a vicious, evil serial murderer ? No. Because when a serial killer - raping, torturing and murdering little girls - is nowhere to be found, you KNOW, society is protecting him. I must say that the 70's feeling of this movie is really well done (in the vein of "Zodiac") and the acting is amazing. I wasn't sure about the main character at first, but with the movie growing darker and darker, he really convinced me. (he'll be in the next David Fincher). This is a grim look at corruption in action. Not the "entertaining" one from Hollywood, the real one, the bloody fucking disgusting one. The one we don't talk about because we know, in our guts, that we'll be loosing our lives, messing with those people. So we shut the fuck up. And we go on with our life. Felt the same after watching this as after closing the book: "No Pockets in a Shroud " (1937) from Horace McCoy: RAGE !
