To Catch a Killer (2023) Video Mp4 Download Movie
Baltimore. New Year’s Eve. A talented but troubled police officer is recruited by the FBI’s chief investigator to help profile and track down a mass murderer.
After a deadly sniper leaves 29 people dead on New Year’s Eve, the FBI’s chief investigator Geoffrey Lammark (Ben Mendelsohn) lectures the Baltimore Police Department that their suspect is not a type, reminding them that he is a person and that “somebody loved him, somebody trained him, and somebody sold him that gun.” Among those listening is a young beat cop named Eleanor (Shailene Woodley, who also serves as producer), who was a first responder on the night of the attack. The two attempt to navigate a corrupt system that is more concerned with the public’s opinion of them than with the public’s safety in Damián Szifron’s “To Catch a Killer.”
The thriller, which Szifron co-wrote with Jonathan Wakeham, aims to use the serial killer movie formula to critique our failing systems and take shots at everything from politicians to the FBI to police departments to the media to jingoistic fascists to the military-industrial complex to the NRA to America’s limited access to mental health care. However, its ambitions overwhelm its abilities. While Szifron and cinematographer Javier Juliá’s imagery is stylish—and well-lit!—their work is hampered by overwrought plotting and underdeveloped characters.
Woodley’s Eleanor is introduced similarly to Angelia Jolie’s character in Phillip Noyce’s far superior entry in the genre, 1999’s “The Bone Collector.” After she arrives on the scene of the shooting, a nearby apartment explodes. Her quick wits lead her to get the other beat cops to start recording all the faces of those fleeing the destruction, lest the shooter is among them. That the script doesn’t use this moment to say anything about our current surveillance state remains a curious oversight.
