Kiss the Girls
Forensic psychologist and detective Alex Cross travels to North Carolina and teams with escaped kidnap victim Kate McTiernan to hunt down "Casanova," a serial killer who abducts strong-willed women and forces them to submit to his demands. The trail leads to Los Angeles, where the duo discovers that the psychopath may not be working alone.
Critics Sentiment
Kate overpowers Casanova and escapes by jumping off a cliff
Detective Ruskin arrives at Kate's home and cuts her phone line
The film peaks during Kate's dramatic escape sequence but steadily declines through the final act as the plot becomes increasingly implausible and the villain reveal proves predictable.
Kiss the Girls starts strong with compelling characters and atmospheric thriller elements, earning particular praise for Freeman's authoritative performance and Judd's gritty portrayal. However, reviewers consistently noted the film losing steam in its final third, with the plot becoming cartoonishly implausible and the climactic reveal arriving too predictably. While competently made with good production values, the thriller ultimately fails to sustain its early promise through to a satisfying conclusion.
