Tagline: 'Based
on actual events'
Cusack plays: detective
Mike Fletcher
Not
a biopic of Andy Warhol’s studio, the factory in this case is a
baby making factory. A crazy dude is picking up prostitutes, taking
them back to his and them impregnating them and making him call him
‘daddy’. Oh goody.
As
cop Mike, Cusack has been on the case for a while along with his
partner Kelsey (Jennifer ‘Deb from Dexter’ Carpenter) when it
gets personal after ‘daddy’ kidnaps his teenage daughter.
Daughter is not a hooker but sort of gets mistaken for one and
taken. Taken, incidentally being a far superior film if
you're in the mood for a man looking for his kidnapped daughter.
Anyway, I digress.
This
is a just about passable, if very predictable watch. There are some
big ‘reveals’ but you will likely see them coming a mile off.
Cusack is looking good with a nice full head of hair and some super
big black coats and leather gloves for investigating. It has a nice
gruesome start when crazy killer Gary accidentally picks up a
transsexual prostitute who is of no use to him and disposes of them
accordingly.
The
film claims to be ‘based on true events’. Can’t find any real
proof of this after a quick google but I suppose there have been a
few cases where girls have been kidnapped and impregnated by their
captor. Probably not the taking-the-cops-daughter-by-accident though.
