Horror Vault's take

In the grimy streets of 1980s New York City, a methodical NYPD inspector races against his own impending retirement — and a personal crisis at home — to unmask a killer whose brutal, seemingly random attacks defy easy explanation. Frank Sinatra brings quiet intensity to a detective who refuses to let the case go cold, piecing together forensic clues that investigators around him have overlooked. The film balances procedural patience with an undercurrent of dread, painting a portrait of a city — and a man — running out of time.
