***SPOILERS***Sean Young as Chicago police sketch artist Gwen McGerrall looks so bored to tears in the made for TV movie "Evil Has a Face" that at times she looks as if she's about to nod off and pass out right there and then.
Given an assignment to travel to far off Redmond Minnesota to help the local police track down a child kidnapper Gwen is about as interested in going up there as she would be in going to the Arctic but does it anyway. As we soon learn Gwen has very personal reasons for going to Redmond beside all her expenses being paid by the Redmond Police Department. It's there in the "Land of Ten Thousands Lakes" where Gwen was brought up.
Gwen had been abused by her step father Henry Wills McGarrell, Cheicie Ross, who died in a car crash back in 1964 when Gwen was five years old. It was that the unknown serial child killer and kidnapper who's on the loose in that part of the state that reminds Glewn of her long dead "Daddy" whom she hates with a passion.
With the help of local Redmond cop Tom Sawyer-yes that's his real name- played William R. Moses and kidnap victim Bria, Brighton Hertfort, Gwen gets wind of who the serial killer and kidnapper really is! Or does she! The evidence that Gwen comes up with later turns out to be bogus in that Bria, the only survivor of the serial killer,described him to be Gwen's own father who been dead for at least 30 years!
***SPOILER ALERT*** It soon turns out that Bria accurately described the person who kidnapped her, which Gwen did a police sketch of, but she was off in how old he was supposed to be by almost a generation!
The movie started getting itself lost in time and space by the time Gwen finally realized whom the mysterious serial killer was. In that it showed that Gwen wasn't anywhere near the sharp and smart cookie that we were lead to believe, by both the Chicago and Redmond Police Departments, that she was. The killer himself was anything but a master criminal in that he was so out in the open and clumsy in his actions it was almost a miracle that he wasn't spotted and caught before he committed his first of a string of some dozen crimes.
Even though she was anything but convincing in her acting I have to say that Sean Young, as cold and icy looking as she was, was a real turn on even, it gets pretty cold up there in Minnesota in the wintertime, with enough clothes on to withstand 30 degree below zero wind gusts.
