NOTES |
A startling
beginning as Sally Field is caught in a traffic jam on the phone to
her daughter who it quickly becomes apparent is being raped
and murdered. Field rushes along the street banging on
car windows trying to get people to phone the police
because she doesn't want to drop the connection to her daughter.
Her efforts are all too late. |
|
Initially
frustrated by police attempts to catch the killer , then |
|
when they
have a suspect he gets off on a technicality, she |
|
takes things
into her own hands. |
|
But by then
the film has already gone downhill, subtlety is |
|
thrown out
of the window. The suspect is so thoroughly |
|
unlike able,
he even kicks dogs, that we might be rooting for |
|
the mother
if it all weren't so over the top. |
|
Like so many
villains this one has a severely scarred face. |
