Good book gone bad

The often excellent Randy Quaid is horribly miscast as Steve Carella - which really brings the production to a deadly pace. By putting Ed McBain's name in the title, fans of the books expect to see the characters that they are familiar with. The loving and long term marriage of Steve and Teddy Carella hasn't occurred yet - in fact, this is where they meet. It is unfortunate that they have no chemistry in the movie. They tried to cram too much history into one movie. Audiences accept a cop being married, whether they know the character or not.

Randy Quaid is not cut out for the role of the inspector Steve.

The hunt for a serial killer who targets young running champions.

A perfectly oiled thriller which is not surprising when one knows that it is adapted from a short story by Ed McBain. Only notice : one recognises badly the inspector Steve under Randy Quaid's.

Trivia
The "Jesus saves" sign can be scene in the background during a crime scene. The iconic neon sign in downtown L.A. has quite the story. It was once part of the Church of the Open Door, then moved to the United Artists Theater, which served as the Los Angeles University Cathedral. As of recent, the building that the sign sits on houses the Ace Hotel.
