It amazes me how valueless films like this get made. There is virtually no aspect of this movie that is not an overused, tired and hackneyed device that we have all seen a gazillion times. Grizzled vet reluctantly pulled out of retirement teamed with eager but green rookie who thinks he knows it all with initially awkward relationship giving way to appreciation and respect. Long thought dead nemesis with signature kill pattern again on the loose. Even small stuff like authorities at crime scene arguing over jurisdiction until heavy appear and flashes badge. Even little pieces of dialogue, short come-backs, etc., are pulled from the bin, cookie cutter, etc. Don't even bother.
