O Sentido do Medo

I liked this movie overall, with its strengths being the cohesive plot, a mystery that continued to the denouement, decent performances by the actors, and real-life subplots in the background. However, no acting awards are expected for anyone here, and the musical score was nothing special. Also, I appreciated how the storyline made one think and stay focussed to keep track of how the criminal investigation proceeded. I actually felt like I was following around these detectives on the case and able to understand their thought processes as more clues were obtained. 7 out of 10.

This is a fairly dull, yet still moderately engaging police procedural. Stephen Baldwin plays the detective who tries to stop a serial killer by finding the clue to his motives in his sordid childhood. The detective has also lost his son recently, a side-plot which adds nothing to the main plot whatsoever, except perhaps that it gives Baldwin the opportunity to be brooding and soulful throughout the film, making the already grim atmosphere (although there is almost no on-screen violence) even more gloomy. The biggest shock of the film comes at the very end, in the credits, when it is revealed that the female psychologist-police consultant is played by Tyne Daly! I wouldn't have recognized her in a million years! (**)

I don't particularly like Stephen Baldwin, as an actor, but his blank face wasn't a total loss as a grieving father in this twisty mystery. The character called for a "numb" person, who became involved in a dynamic situation, which frustrated and enraged, as people died in strange ways, and the police raced to figure out who was going to be next. The acting wasn't that great, but the story held my interest. Worth a look.

i was laying on my couch stoned at 2 in the morning and this movie came on. needless to say it is the most astounding, incredible terrible movie i have ever seen. the plot is off the charts, camera work mesmerizing, and the work of Stephen Baldwin....words don't describe it. the movie centers around a cop who is trying to solve a series of killing in salt lake city. the killer always cleans up after him/herself and always places the victims in some sort of family setting. if you are into clichés, this movie provides one at ever turn, or every time Baldwin appears on screen. although i missed the first 15 minutes and didn't seen the ending, i will for sure watch the rest when it is on. if you are in need of a laugh, or if you're an aspiring film maker who needs reassurance, this one is for you.

although i gave this a 1, it is in a very good way.

Firstly stephen baldwin isn't that big of an actor, but his total films list are incredible. That says something, im gona tell you this guy is great. his ability to make you feel at ease but tense and alwasy aware is unbelievable.

This film was great i was flickering through the channels after watching east enders and thought whats this , my girlfriend being a big fan herself said leave it on, so i do. and boy im so glad i did. Not saying to much about the story guys its great , a real treat.
