Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Rent don't buy. Movie about an anti-abortion serial killer
Review: Jamie Luner sublimely transcends another bad movie. Otherwise,
there's nothing to recommend it. Summaries you may read are
inaccurate. For example: "The daughter of an ex-con
becomes the latest victim to a serial killer eluding the FBI. Her
father and boyfriend join together to track the killer." Wrong,
the boyfriend is hardly involved.
The story takes place entirely against the background
of abortion. There's some bad acting (the drug dealer in
particular) and characters act in unlikely ways. Why doesn't
Naomi yell out when she has the chance? Why does Namoi have so much free time?
Also, abortion clinics are usually very careful whom they
employ.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: SLOW MOVING AND PREDICTABLE
Review: SACRIFICE is another entry in the cache of director Mark L. Lester. Michael Madsen once again tries his Bruce Willis imitation, and although he's a little more effective than usual, his weak performance drags the film down a good bit. Bokeem Woodbine offers little in his role as the frustrated FBI agent; Jamie Luner is luminous but does some pretty stupid things in the movie; Deborah Shelton (Body Double, Dallas) portrays Masden's ex-wife and though I've always enjoyed both her beauty and skill, neither is evident in this whiny role. The movie is slow moving and little suspense is introduced or maintained. It could have a lot more impact with better performances and direction.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 5 stars for madsen
Review: This is flick is alright for two reasons: mr. madsen and the fact that it was filmed in my hometown.The film does strike an erie tone at the end when the killer tells (his or her) reasons for killing the victims, but it could have been better.The movie looks better than it should, but it needed a stronger story.not a bad film if you like the star.
