Moviehole - 5/10 by Clint MorrisNelson gives one of the most gripping performances of his career
User Review - 10/10 by Christopher SJudd Nelson is nutcase whose father was a cop. His cop father used to abuse him when he was a kid when he messed up doing cop exercises. Nelson was a reject from the LAPD academy & that drove him over the edge. He became a "goddamn phonebook killer." He'd dial the victims' number & if they answered, he'd hang up. The first victim didn't answer so he left a message: "I called to see if you were home, I have to kill you tonight." He'd then go kill them later on & leave the page of the phonebook with their number laying on or by the victim with a taunting message. When he killed them, he'd have them assist him killing themselves by putting their hands around the murder victim, like they were committing suicide. He'd ask a few "what was it like?(to kill themselves)" because in the end, that's ultimately what he wanted. He wanted to kill himself but couldn't do it so he started killing people in hopes that the cops would find him in the end & kill him. If you read the the last phonebook page message at the end, it reads "Thank you." This was a great thriller. Full of suspense. Seeing Leo Rossi as a good guy/smart ass cop was great. He teamed with Robert Loggia. They both had amazing on-screen chemistry as partners. William Lustig makes one of his blatant cameos. I loved it. So obvious that it was him...again. :) I definitely recommend this one. Jay Chattaway does the score as well. Sadly, Larry Cohen didn't write & produce it. That doesn't stop it from being a really rad movie though.
User Review - 10/10 by Nikki BA FANTASTIC MOVIE A MUST SEE VERY UNDERATED
User Review - 10/10 by Anthony CA very underrated thriller with great performances,Nelson is a true psycho in this one! Leo Ross is awesome as the smart new cop on the killer's trail.Definetely one to check out if u havent already.
User Review - 8/10 by Lenard WA really good psychological thriller about the son of a decorated officer who turns into a serial killer. As a former New York cop on his first case as a detective tracks him down using his investigatory skills, the Sunset Killer slowly disintegrates into a suicidal nutjob. Judd Nelson shows the dark aspects he would use to further his career after his teen stardom faded.
User Review - 8/10 by Joey GReally good movie from 1989. I'm surprised I have not seen it before.
User Review - 8/10 by Louis HTerribly under-rated thriller. More people should give this flick a chance.
User Review - 6/10 by girlonwhyte nLives up to its title, at least. Good performances.
User Review - 6/10 by Tim HExcellent and underrated shocker from the director of the Maniac Cop series. Well worth a look.
User Review - 6/10 by John CJudd nelson plays the son of a cop and a serial killer haunting the streets and killing people with his same name. Its up to leo rossi and robert loggia to stop the murderer and put him down. A standard 80 action movie without much plot and some bad performances from nelson who seems to overact and leo rossi who gives another wooden performance. Only robert loggia adds some realism to this downright dull serial killer flick. wait for it on cable
