I thoroughly enjoyed this film and thought it was excellent at keeping you gripped throughout. Kiefer Sutherland was just perfect as the disengaged, alcoholic, seen-too-much cop. The script was funny at times, dark at others. It was different to your usual run-of-the-mill cop chasing serial killer film and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to be entertained for a couple of hours. Nice to see a British actress, Polly Walker, in the role of the parapsychologist. A good film with an interesting twist.

Kiefer as a good guy for once! It's a decent story, although it does slow down in the middle a bit, but the end is - shall we say - different! All in all a good film, I enjoyed it, anyway. Would watch it again in the future so in my book deserves the five stars.

This film was made in 1999, though it was only released here in 2007, and was originally called "After Alice".
Synopsis from the dvd jacket: "A notorious serial killer is back after a ten-year silence - and it's up to Detective Mickey Hayden (Kiefer Sutherland - TV's 24) to catch the elusive murderer. But every time he touches a victim's belongings, Hayden is overcome by disturbing psychic visions. All too soon he realises that only he can get inside the mind of the killer."
Ok, so if I'd read the back of the box I probably wouldn't have bothered watching it, but a friend put me on to it and told me to give it a try - I did and I'm happy I did.
Kiefer Sutherland plays Mickey Hayden a cop on the edge of burn out. Hayden in his own way is a good cop and a good guy, but he likes a drink and has gotten himself on the wrong side of his boss (Mickey Hayden's ex-wife was having an affair with his boss and now refuses to marry him).
John Hatter (Mickey's boss played by Gary Hudson) pulls him of nightshift homicide and onto days to work the "Jabberwocky" serial killer case - a case that went cold 10 years before with the death of a journalist that covered the case. The first murder being that of a young woman called Alice Ellen Lurie.
After being approached by a psychic (Harvey played by Henry Czerny) Mickey and his partner Ray Coombs (Ronn Sarosiak) team up with Harvey and Dr Vera Swann (Polly Walker) to look into the killings of the Jabberwocky.
Kiefer Sutherland's character is honest, and that is what is likeable about him. When asked why he drinks so much Mickey replies: "If you're looking for something tragic you're going to be disappointed... I like to drink, sometimes I like to get drunk, sometimes I like to pass out. I don't hurt anybody with it and I don't drink on the job, contrary to my lieutenant's beliefs, it hasn't killed me... at least not yet."
This is not 24, infact it was made 2 years before the first season of 24 in 2001, but it shows the depth of the acting ability of Mr Sutherland. He takes a character which should be unlikeable and manages to bring out the human aspects of the character to make Mickey likeable.
Yes, the film did jump a little but the psychic thing is not as intrusive as I thought it would be, and there is a great twist at the end.
Give it a try, you can always rent it, I was glad I did.
