I thought this movie was OK until we got to the part where we see Medic #2. I don't know about anyone else, but he should have been Medic #1. NO where in his performance was there a reason for him not to be Medic #1. Who chooses who is Medic #1 and Medic #2 ? I know this movie would have rated higher with me if Medic #2 was indeed Medic #1. Lets refilm and have more scenes with Medic #2. Maybe of him giving cpr to a drowning victim that he rescued from the genesee river. Or how about him driving an ambulance down genesee st. full of a group of gang bangers who just got ambushed by the rochester police. I don't know about you, but there just needs to be more Medic #2 in this flick.

The story begins with a rape and murder of a a 10 year old kid, a girl has assigned to solve the case, but then she started to hallucinate things and got obsessed in the case. she thought it was because of the initials of the girl that starts with 2 "C"s and the town she was killed that has that same initial so they called it alphabet killer, but after her disease the put it in therapy there she found a guy that had a problem as well and they became friends, she told him the story and he believed it. After some days another murder happened, so like the other that was by the initials and so on,At last you will find out the killer was that guy, after hearing her story, he just did what she said, and the first murder was just accidentally with those initials. Nice and catchy movie, although you may don't like the end but it was from a true story it seems.

Spoilers.Eliza Dushku is Megan, a police officer in Rochester, New York, who is investigating a case of child rape and murder. The girl's name was something like Carlina Cacciatore and her body was dumped in Churchtown. Dushku fastens on to the CCC connection while everyone else pooh poohs it.The second victim turns up, something like Wilma Weinstein from Weber. Then there's a Penelope Purcell from Pipe Organ. Maybe there's a Marla Marple from Michigas in there too. I lost count. Ka-ching.This is too much for Dushku. She begins to crack up and hallucinate the dead little girls. She's not only taken off the case but shipped off to the hospital. Upon her release she spends two years in group counseling, led by the understanding, wheelchair-bound Timothy Hutton.Hutton isn't on screen that often. She goes to him for a few words of reassurance on those occasions when her hallucinations begin scratching at the door. If, by their third meeting, you haven't figured out that Hutton not only can walk but is the child-raping murderer to boot, you haven't seen enough movies of this genre.The plot is too ridiculous to describe further. The acting isn't in any way distinguished either. Dushku has modest talent. Cary Elwes and Michael Ironside must not be getting too many offers these days.The worst conceit is the ambiguous ending. The last shot is of Dushku strapped down in a mental hospital, completely ga ga, and then the epilogue -- the notorious alphabet killer has never been caught and remains at large -- thus clearing the way for a SEQUEL to this meretricious rubbish. Let's hope nothing comes of it or we'll all wind up in the rubber room with Megan.The only redeeming feature of the production is the sound of gunshots. They're not as loud as real gunshots but their sonic contours are similar.Nice job there. With the gunshots. The rest of the movie stinks. Want more proof? The alphabet connection is never explained, just plain dropped from the plot, a sensible but negligible inconvenience, like a trouser pocket full of too much heavy change.And another thing. No more heroines with names like Megan or Regan. Or cute names like Ally or Jillian either. An onomastic irritant.

to act like it deals with the supernatural when it really doesn't. Detective Megan Paige becomes obsessed with a child murder. The girl's initials are the same letter and her body is left in a town that starts with the same letter. During investigations, she sees the dead girl, sees hands appear, hears whispers. She is diagnosed as schizo and is relegated to a desk job. The movie says it is based on a true story. The movie tries to depict Megan was haunted by ghosts. So, was this detective really schizo in real life? A couple of years go by, and a couple more murders take place. She is allowed to tag alone but not interfere due to her mental state. Wouldn't want evidence thrown out. That part was ridiculous to me. There is no way the police would allow a mental case who was obsessed with this killer interview witnesses. She starts seeing the dead girls and hears things again. Another silly moment is when the police don't stop her from entering this house during a hostage situation. All they do is yell don't go in there, she just walks right in. Simply not believable.Then according to the film, she finds out who the killer was but gets sent back to the psych ward and medicated so she can't tell anyone. Now, you know that never happened. The worst part about this movie is it trying to claim it's based on true events.FINAL VERDICT: This would have been better as a ghost story and not played as based on actual events.
