Brother Mike and sister Kate have lost their father and the boy finds it hard to get over this death.Kate finds him a job on a watchtower while she's busy fishing.Alas he has to team up with an impostor,a serial killer(Berenger).
Tom Berenger is the only reason why you'd like to watch this umpteenth story of another Jack the Ripper.He's a very earnest thespian and he tries his best to give the audience an in-depth performance,complete with miserable childhood and paradoxical (and a bit childish) philosophy.His relationship with Kate is so predictable I will not mention it;but with the boy,it's a different matter.He feels the boy's need for a substitute (no pun intended as far Berenger is concerned).And it's really too bad the relationship Mike/Art is only skimmed over.
The film is marred by an absurd ending,although the last words do not lack black humor."I have changed" it reads.He has.indeed.
