Excellent time spent...old theme new take.

I was pleasantly surprised by the intrigue of this film that I, of course, began at this web site user review section. And it hasn't steered me wrong yet. Excellent acting not complicated get good twists the second of which I didn't see coming. You won't regret time spent on it.

very compelling and engrossing murder mystery

i found this Canadian production to be a very good murder mystery.it stars Kate Vernon and Michael Ironside.the identity of the murderer is pretty much shown early on in the film so instead of being a who done it kind of mystery,it's more of a why they did it,and to a lesser extent how they did it.(the how is revealed much sooner than the why)this is an interesting twist.the dark tone of the movie is very consistent throughout and doesn't change until the movie fades to black.all in all,it's a very compelling and engrossing murder mystery from the opening frame to the closing credits.for me,Probable Cause is an 8/10

Rare Michael Ironside lead performance as "surprise" the good guy....

"Probable Cause" is a nice showcase for Michael Ironside in a lead performance as the good guy for a change. The plot revolves around a series of cop killings, with suspicion pointing early on to the likely suspect. What is intriguing about the film, is the real mystery is the motive behind all the stabbings. With Ironside slowly uncovering the facts, a bang up conclusion finally reveals the "why" in flashback mode. M. Emmet Walsh makes a brief appearance as a Doctor who happens to be an expert regarding sleepwalking. The acting overall is totally acceptable. Seek this one out if you like your slasher movies to actually have a plot. You will not be disappointed. - MERK

police crime mystery

Police detective Gary Yanuck (Michael Ironside) is facing sexual harassment accusation from his previous partner (Brooke Adams). He's told to treat his new partner Lynn Reilly (Kate Vernon) with extra care while searching for a cop killer. She is struggling with sleepwalking and other personal issues.

This is a police crime mystery drama. There are way too many long slow quiet scenes. They are trying to build atmosphere, but it comes off as filling empty space. Initially, I couldn't buy that he's not suspended although it is a different time. It's nice to see Ironside leading. It's a TV mystery movie filmed in Canada. There are surprisingly some veteran recognizable actors in support. Mostly, it's the pacing that is the problem. The director needs to push harder on the pacing and give some more thrills.

Not too bad, somewhat thrilling murder mystery.

This is not too bad of an obscure Made in Canada TV movie starring Michael Ironside as a cop who tries to investigate a series of police murders, where the real mystery and intrigue lies in the motives behind the killings.

The entire atmosphere of the movie gives you a mysterious, somewhat depressing and serious feeling and the acting was pretty on par. There is also a little bit of several movie elements, from suspense to drama, and from action to romance. The subplot of the lead detectives female partner and her sleepwalking issue adds onto the unpredictable intrigue of the movie.

Though I've seen better made for TV movies, this one is not a bad to watch on slow Saturday night.

Grade B-
