Intense, driven LA cop, Thomas Mackey (James Remar) is on the case of the so-called "Spread-Eagle Killer". With victims piling up, Mackey is forced by his superiors to partner with newly-graduated criminal psychologist, Dr. Sally Powers (Loryn Locklin). Mackey is not happy.
As time goes on, Mackey learns that there might be more to his new partner than he initially thought. She seems to have some sort of intuitive ability, as well as an almost supernatural sense of the case.
Basically, this is a sort of made-for-TV horror version of a "buddy film". Mackey and Powers start out as adversaries, but are forced to get along. It's a tired formula, but it works well enough here. It's pretty obvious early on who the killer is. Some people are just "too nice"!
Things do take a turn into the land of cheeeze, when Powers decides to go to a hyper-stylized, pseudo-biker club called "The Slammer". If real clubs like this actually existed, let's hope they're all gone by now!
Ms. Locklin is really good in her bizarre, psychic role. Mr. Remar plays his role with relish. Even when he's silent he seems loud! Mitch Pileggi does a serviceable job as Mackey's boss.
Watch for none other than Timothy Leary himself as a weird preacher during the wedding sequence!
All in all, an absurd yet enjoyable timewaster...
