Shatner does his schtick
7 May 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Goofy film about a maniac murderer (Bill Shatner).

Shatner once again proves that the only good thing he ever did was Star Trek. His relentless mugging and over-acting is curious because he's a talented performer albeit one-dimensional.... Shatner is Shatner in everything he does.

Ruth Roman is much better, though she again plays an unsympathetic character. Hollywood surely has never learned how to cast actors, and definitely has never learned how NOT to stereotype them. Kim Nicholas is fine as a troubled little girl.

Shatner fans will want to tune in, but most people know he has a limited range. If you're just another undemanding 'trekkie', than have at it.
