| Plot |
| Gregory Hoblit ( Primal Fear ) directed this genre mix-in, a blend of police drama and supernatural thriller. Homicide detective John Hobbes ( Denzel Washington ) narrates, taking the audience back to "the time I almost died." This sets a flashback in motion, beginning at the prison cell of serial killer Edgar Reese ( Elias Koteas ), who grabs Hobbes' hand and sings The Rolling Stones ' "Time Is On My Side." After Reese is executed, Hobbes and his partner Jonesy ( John Goodman ) find a seeming copycat killer, committing murders in a manner not unlike Reese. Hobbes is drawn into the occult after he meets theology professor Gretta Milano ( Embeth Davidtz ), the daughter of a dead police officer. Hobbes becomes a suspect himself, but he continues his search for the truth. Co-producer Dawn Steel died just as this film was due for release. — Bhob Stewart |
