Kern County Deputy Sheriff Joe “Deke” Deacon (Washington) is sent to Los Angeles for what should have been a quick evidence‐gathering assignment. Instead, he becomes embroiled in the search for a serial killer who is terrorizing the city. Leading the hunt, L.A. Sheriff Department Sergeant JimBaxter (Malik), impressed with Deke’s cop instincts, unofficially engages his help. But as they track the killer, Baxter is unaware that the investigation is dredging up echoes of Deke’s past, uncovering disturbing secrets that could threaten more than his case.

Considering the awesome cast that this film has, I was hoping for something spectacular....nope....sadly it did not deliver. This was honestly the first movie I was excited to see for a good while considering COVID pretty much killed Hollywood (and I hope they stay dead). But this had all the look of something akin to the next Seven. But sadly it was a dud...great actors wasted their talent on this turd. Of course Leto (who was completely underused imo) will still probably win an Oscar.

The plot developed slowly then never went as far is it could before the climax had been reached. The film's genre is one of my least favorite but I wanted to like it. The trio of star actors could have been written to create a great story but it left we seeking something more. Annoying recurring sound which was way too loud but a few nice sound tracks helped in certain places.

You would think with 3 Academy Award winning actors this movie would be a slam-dunk, but alas it was mediocre & boring overall and ending that would tie "The Devil Inside" for least satisfying ending. Denzel Washington looks bored. Remi Malik character is uninteresting. Literally the only reason I gave this movie 2 stars is Jared Leto's performance. Unfortunately he's barely in the movie.
