Police detective Emmett Young has 3 days to solve a brutal murder... his own.

A classic psychological thriller told in a hip, driving style, Emmett's mark is the story of ambitious young detective Emmett Young (Scott Wolf) who, after being assigned to a high-profile murder case, learns that he has a fatal disease. Desperate to solve the case before his condition worsens, Emmett complicates matters by organising a hit-man to execute him, believing that his life will have had meaning if he can catch the killer before he, himself, is killed. Trouble is, Emmett doesn't know exactly when the hit-man will strike, and itme is running out...

Theatrical report

Emmett's mark isn't bad. It's like an episode of Law & order that's been stretched out to fill in 104 minutes, mostly using some personal backstory that Law & order usually avoids.

Scott Wolf is good.
