“If you ignore the thinly disguised though obvious political agenda, this isnu0026#39;t a bad thriller. A serial killer who has been preying on young black prostitutes with impunity is caught in flagrante delicto kidnapping his next victim, but bluffs his way out of it. The off-duty rookie female patrol officer concerned follows up with a typical policemanu0026#39;s hunch, or policewomanu0026#39;s in this case, and after convincing a cynical older detective that evil is afoot, they launch a missing person investigation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThen the bad guy loses it, stabbing to death a white nightclub worker and shooting dead a shopkeeper in quick succession, the second because he realises the game is up. The finale isnu0026#39;t quite what you would expect, suffice it to say itu0026#39;s lucky this guy was a humble serial killer rather than a terrorist because in his woodland hideaway he had enough ordnance to blow up half the county.”
