In Theaters : TEXAS KILLING FIELDS (2011)

Official Synopsis : Inspired by the string of real-life unsolved murders in a small Texan town, this tense and haunting thriller follows a local homicide detective (Sam Worthington), and his partner, a transplanted cop from New York City (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they track a sadistic serial killer dumping his female victims' mutilated bodies in a nearby marsh dubbed The Killing Fields. The killer changes the game and begins hunting the detectives, teasing them with possible clues at the crime scenes while always remaining one step ahead. When a familiar local girl (Chloƫ Grace Moretz) goes missing the detectives find themselves in a race against time to find their killer before she is murdered.

Genre: Thriller

What to Expect : The mediocre spiritual offspring of "Seven". The fact that it's based on a true story can't rescue the movie from an underdeveloped script and a sort of genre complacency that gives out a feeling of "been there, done that". LIMITED RELEASE

Critical Response : Mixed to negative. The critics remarked that the movie has the feeling of a TV crime drama and wastes the talents of its cast. One critic swiftly sums it up : "Long on style and short on coherent storytelling." Rated 42% on Rottentomatoes.com from 8 positive and 11 negative reviews.
