The film actually doesn't even start that bad. The starting scenes are quite strong, but from there the story goes downhill very quickly. The only things I liked are the music accompanying some scenes (classic suspense sound), the overall atmosphere and the photography The acting isn't that bad, but the story is just too simple, incredible and full of stupidity.
Cops, supposed to keep track of an undercover agent, are just miles away for no apparent reason, just to name one thing. Police work Comedy Caper style at best. Of course things go terribly wrong from there. Further incredibility is on its way when police arrive in full force, seemingly without any problem. Which is incredible, because the agents are basically on an illegal mission.
Scenes in Boston, when the French agent gets 'help' from an FBI agent to understand serial killers better, hardly contribute to the story and are irritating as no one in these scenes seems to be able tot talk English. It may be a small thing, but says a lot about the poor attention that has been paid to proper and somewhat intelligent scenario.
All I can say it that it's not a complete waste of your time because of the music, the atmosphere and photography, but be prepared to have you stupidity tolerance tested.
