Surveillance

Running Time: 98 minutes

Summary: Somewhere deep inside the Santa Fe desert there have been a number of blood curdling murders...a real killing spree. The local police station is in disarray. Captain Billings, Officers Degrasso and Wright have apprehended three witnesses: Officer Jack Bennet, one of their own, tough, but affected by recent events; Bobby, young, high as a kite on cocaine; and Stephanie, eight years old, who has just witnessed her family being brutally murdered by two figures dressed in jumpsuits, gloves, boots, and horrifyingly disfiguring latex masks. The FBI is now involved, and as the witnesses tell their stories one by one to the FBI agents who have now taken over, the murderous events unravel before our eyes. It becomes clear, however, that little Stephanie knows something more. And then three more bodies have been found...

Review: Baaaaad movie! The only reason that I was able to get through this movie is because it started at the end and slowly revealed the events to you. It at least kept me interested to a point where I wanted the blanks filled in. Even after viewing the entire movie (which I figured out in the first 15 minutes), I was left scratching my head, key plot points were missing. The next day I was still asking Jon, "Well how did they get in the car?" "Now, who was the one who shot the cop?".

On top of the story having massive holes, it was also really weird, to the point of being disturbing... Watching Frech Stewart in a movie is punishment enough, without watching him dry hump an old bald guy.

It was pretty surprising to see bigger name actors, Julia Ormond and Bill Pullman in the lower budget thriller but the thing is, it wasn't the acting that was bad about this movie... It was all in the story.

Don't waste your time.

Best Quote: Mom (played by Cheri Oteri)[before being shot] - "I'm not... having... a very... good... time."
