Taking the most hackneyed of TV movie premises — a psychic is pursued by the serial killer whose crimes he has been mentally witnessing — and a few leftover bits of the plot of Die Hard, this adaption of Dean R. Koontz’ paperback best-seller is a surprisingly, well, good.
The clichéd characters are given a touch more depth than usual, and there are neat, non-stereotyped supporting performances from cop Bob Balaban and smarmy journalist William Sadler
A gripping TV time-waster
