The plot: A troubled police officer is recruited by the FBI’s chief investigator to help profile and track down a disturbed individual terrorizing Baltimore, Maryland.

To catch a killer Movie was good.

Pros: The story was simple as it gets. Both Shailene Woodley and Ben Mendelsohn respectively did a really good job with their respective roles. I fell for the impatient aspect of this mystery going on throughout the film and I enjoyed the final act with the revile of the criminal who committed these violent crimes.

Cons: The film did go on for way too long. During the third act the police became incompetent and the revile of who did the murders were not really that surprising. 

The Casts:

I recommend watching this film.

Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars
