Movie propaganda

Survival is a killer.

After a serial killer murders his co-workers and his girlfriend, once confident FBI agent Jack Malloy (Sylvester Stallone) turns to alcohol to dull his pain before finding himself at a detoxification centre for cops. A retrofitted cold war command post in the middle of the frozen Wyoming wilderness, this last resort is run by a former cop doc (Kris Kristofferson) and his assistant Hank (Tom Berenger), with the help of resident psychiatrist and nurse Jenny Munroe (Polly Walker).

Checking their weapons at the door, Malloy and nine other "guests" are left to confront their demons and each other, as the atmosphere both inside and outside grows increasingly more bitter. When his fellow officers begin turning up dead, Malloy's nightmares force him to realise that he can no longer ignore his past.

Also starring Charles S Dutton and Dina Meyer. Directed by Jim Gillespie.

Theatrical report

Crimson rivers with more violence and fewer French accents.

D-tox, as it is currently known, has been held back for months because the studio didn't feel that it was ready for public viewing. I don't know why they came to this decision as the film is no worse than anything else starring Sylvester Stallone and certainly better than most; it's no great piece of drama but it has some good thrills and spills. And there're some gory bits. Gore is cool. (What a pity that didn't hold true for the most recent USA presidential elections.)
