Review of Copycat

Copycat (1995)
6/10
Probably the dumbest cops in cinema history
20 August 2023
So only psychiatrists know something about the most well-known american serial killers? Cops in San Francisco have to be schooled from said psychiatrist about the victims of the famouse Hillside strangler, Ted Bundy etc?

The cops actually had to use their computer to research that Ted Bundy used a Beetle as a car. I mean WHAT the actual F....! This is like common knowledge.

And then there's the cop who leaves his key in the gun drawer lock near a suspect at the police station, and just walks away. I don't need to explain what happens there. Tripple facepalm.

'Copycat' does have several redeeming qualities, though. The killer, who reminded me of Patrick Bateman from 'American Psycho' is perfectly cast. But the highlight for me must be crooner Harry Connick Jr, who plays even a bigger psycho, although in fewer scenes.
