For one thing, the repeat playing of Little Red Riding Hood to signify another murder is reminiscent of Blue Velvet. - The final chase scene in Striking Distance shares a lot with Scorsese’s Cape Fear, though not to the same level of intensity. The acting is also promis- ing. Bruce Willis is convinc- ing in his role of Tom Hardy.

She has a much more positive role in Striking Distance as Willis’ partner than she had in Hocus Pocus playing Bette Micdler’s daft sister. The supporting actors are all very good. Dennis Farina, - Tom Sizemore and Brian James give credible perfor- mances as a dysfunctional family of cops who are unable to keep the peace and order in their own house. Striking Distance is a well thought-out movie. The dis- turbing subject of a serial killer stalking and killing victims is not original, but is a, well- established base for many modern movies. This movie will be appropriate for those who enjoy the thrill of mystery and suspense. ACTON BOWL . SECRET Gat GARDEN
