Отставной полицейский Билл Ходжес возвращается к работе, так как ему не дает покоя нераскрытое дело — жестокое убийство восьми человек. Брейди Хартфилд не может забыть пьянящее чувство, когда на угнанном «мерседесе» он врезался в группу ни в чем не повинных людей. Брейди не хочет останавливаться — он уже планирует новое преступление, на этот раз намного более масштабное. Биллу Ходжесу и его команде необходимо опередить его и спасти жизнь уже не десяткам, а сотням людей.
A demented serial killer taunts a retired police detective with a series of lurid letters and emails, forcing the ex-cop to undertake a private, and potentially felonious, crusade to bring the killer to justice before he can strike again.
But the problem is not with the dialogue, because I'm not saying that a movie always has to mirror its original. No, not at all. I'm just saying it has to convey the spirit, the mood, the depth, motivations, reasons, pleasure, agitation, excitement, as it was brilliantly done in "Misery", "The Green Mile", "The Shawshank Redemption", for instance.
In the series, the main antagonist's background is presented in a very poor way, whereas in the novel it is masterfully described. You even begin... well, not to empathize, but to understand why he became such a person.
The text messages that the detective analyzed and deconstructed to visualize the criminal and understand his psychology were replaced with silly and boring videos.
And there were dozens of other big and small things that disappointed me. I barely managed to finish watching the first season.
Puzzle_M, thanks, you are the best anyway.
