The film starts with Al Pacino playing a veteran cop Detective Archer on the verge of retirement. Pacino who would had been 77 years old when the film was released he looks like the grandfather of a veteran cop who is on the verge of retirement despite his weird dark hair!
The action moves a year after Detective Archer had a prang with an unidentified car to Detective Ruiney (Karl Urban) who is being shadowed by an ace reporter Christi Davies (Brittany Snow.) They come across a horrific crime scene of a woman hanging with a letter carved on her. The killer is calling out to Ruiney and the now retired Detective Archer by playing a game of hangman as other bodies and letters turn up.
Hangman is a bizarre low rent Seven knock off where the serial killer's method and madness is just nonsense. Stolen blood from a priest, one victim being someone who enjoys S&M, a speeding train heading for a hanging man who is still alive, a pig head, a detective in a wheelchair on the verge of a nervous breakdown. With all the insanity and killings, only two detectives and a journalist are on the case.
Hangman is a plodding, laborious film that is ridiculous. It can be summed up by a laughably bad chase scene of a man on a motorbike who then just stands there on the road as the chasing trio are speeding for him when something leftfield happens.
To top it all, what is Pacino doing with that silly southern accent?
