It is another high cal- iber chase film that has come out of a series of exception- ally well-done films these past few moths. * Bruce Willis plays the lead role of Tom Hardy, a homi- Le ff J cide detective demoted to harbor patrol. His fall from the homicide squad is sparked by his blunt words about a wrongful arrest. His colleagues assure him that they have caught the serial killer.

HWY 410 by Rowdy Herrington is also clever, with distinct style and technique borrowed from Lynch and Scorsese. The neurosis of the serial killer is tres Lynch. 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
