the postcard killings review
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is an NYPD detective tracking a European serial killer in this grisly yet uninspired thriller.There have been a lot of adaptations (primarily for TV) of megaselling author James Patterson’s pulpy fictions, none particularly memorable, with the possible exception of hit 1997 thriller “Kiss the Girls.” But then, his books seldom aim for much more than disposable entertainment, so it’s apt enough that their screen versions should follow suit.By that standard, there’s nothing really wrong with “A trite montage of jittery images suffices to convey the immediate grief, anger and binge drinking suffered by Morgan’s Jacob Kanon upon learning that his only child and her newlywed husband have been found slain in London.
March 13, 2020 June 16, 2020 We're curious, but not fascinated, and also not entirely convinced. Competent, but it's never compelling. Famke Janssen shows up just long enough as Jacob’s ex-wife Valerie to add more histrionics, including irrational blame-casting at him for placing the couple in danger by funding their European honeymoon.Vowing to find the killer or killers himself, Jacob stays on, pestering the British investigators, then traveling to Munich, Stockholm and beyond as more young couples are victimized. Second-billed Janssen is largely superfluous, relegated to a few scenes as a long-distance contact.There just isn’t enough depth to the screenplay (oddly credited as being adapted from a prior, apparently unproduced screenplay) to ballast the “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”-like tragic dysfunctional-family backstory that finally emerges.
By Dennis Harvey A grizzly serial killer thriller that's not too exciting on film even if it might have been in the book.
March 12, 2020 There is a certain simplicity to The Postcard Killings that is inarguably ruined as more and more answers come to light, only to be saved by a measured performance from Morgan and some lovely cinematography. The Postcard Killing is a decent serial killer on the loose/grieving father film that has a police procedural aspect to it and uses its international locations really well. Return to sender please.
Quite tedious before it becomes unintentionally hilarious, with its drive to be a sincere serial killer mystery at odds with its poor execution. Copyright © Fandango.
The Postcard Killings offers a great cast that gives their all, but the story as a whole is too generic and uninteresting to make this story worth experiencing. The problem is, there is no fun. Each crime is preceded by a cryptic postcard mailed to a journalist in the relevant city. By creating an account, you agree to the RT Comic-Con Ketchup Worse still, they were discovered with their blood methodically drained, corpses “staged” in a grotesque pose with some limbs severed and others apparently “borrowed” from prior victims.
