Twitter Capsule: Sordid police thriller with nasty hook: gay serial killer won't stop till closeted, white-passing cop comes out. Quite a text.

VOR:   Mostly drab technique, with occasional flash of polish or inspiration. Mostly progressive intents, with fitful lapses into the grotesque. Intriguing convergence.
