Donald Sutherland is a great actor and he gives his best performance here in the way his character evolves and changes. If they had only staked out those train stations like Rea's character wanted they could have caught this monster much sooner and saved many innocent people from the most horrible death you could imagine. I couldn't believe that one scene where Joss Ackland's character says that serial killers are a decedent Western phenomenon. You feel so bad for this poor man and so furious at the stupid government that wont even admit there is a serial killer in their midst. There is one scene where he dreams of this brutal child killer and then it shows him weeping and embracing both of his children. He is no cardboard cut out but a human hero. Stephen Rea gave an outstanding performance as a dedicated policeman who realizes he will basically have to catch this monster by himself. HBO always makes the best films and it just doesn't get any better then this. ![]() This is a horrifying true story to dwarf any fiction. ![]() People who liked Silence Of The Lambs need to watch this film because Andrei Chikatilo makes Hannibal Lector look like Donny Osmond.
