I was very intrigued by the beginning of the film, with the nocturnal chases in a deserted Rome by Inspector Lavazzi (Giuseppe Zeno). The action subsequently unfolds in Mississippi with Commissioner Boyd (Cole Hauser), but he is a character who appears to have little impact on the scene. More fascinating is certainly the figure of Doctor Mackles (Morgan Freeman), an anthropologist who will contribute to the resolution of the case through his knowledge of tribal populations and shamanic rites. I really appreciated his initial speech addressed to his young university student, with the aim of making him reflect on the sense of extraneousness determined by others who are different from us. The rituals carried out by the serial killer are macabre. Greater psychological introspection and a focus on the roles played by Zeno and Freeman would have been, in my opinion, more beneficial in making this a truly breathtaking thriller! Read all
