The suspense keeps on going.......2007-04-27
I don't know why others have not liked this movie, I thought it was great. It was suspenseful and you don't know if he really did kill his wife and is now killing his "girlfriends" who he was corresponding with by audio tape while in prison, or if one of the women is trying to set him up out of anger. The prison guard was also well played. I really got into this movie, and I think it deserves a chance, so don't be discouraged by reading other reviews that are less than complimentary.
THEY'RE REALLY TAPES.......2005-03-11
I guess TAPES FROM A KILLER Didn't have the selling point? Anyway, what ever happened to Patrick Swayze? After RED DAWN and DIRTY DANCING, seemed like he had everything going for him. His performance in this lukewarm thriller isn't bad, but it's not inspired, either. He does some really stupid things, and one can't help but wonder why the screenplay made him so gullible and thoughtless. He's surrounded by four women he wrote to while on Death Row, and then after given a new trial, he's released. Problem is while in prison, the nasty head guard, played with relish by Michael Bowen, switched the tapes he was sending and all four women found out he was leading all of them on. One of them has vowed revenge and wants him back on death row. The script playfully points the finger at one of the ladies, played by Gia Carides. But is she guilty? Carides and Kim Meyer as the southern belle Gloria outact Swayze, and Roger E. Moseley as Horton, the friendly guard and Bruce McGill as the head FBI agent lend capable support. It's not a surprising movie, but it holds your interest.
Very nearly was Patrick Swayze's last film.......2003-05-01
This film was not given a fair shake with theatre distribution. Patrick Swayze's performance was very convincing as an innocent man released from prison after serving a long sentence, when new evidence proved the wrong man was convicted. He appeared pale, as you would expect of a person spending so much time locked behind bars. Due to a chain of events beyond his control, he is stalked by a killer, one of several women who had been writing to him while he was in prison. Not having a clue as to who is trying to kill him, a suspenseful pursuit ensues. During filming of a scene where he is fleeing on horseback, his horse bolted and Swayze struck a tree, suffering severe injuries. Trooper that he is, he managed to finish the film (it is noticeable how much pain he is in during the process), but with great effort. Since he is one of the few stars who always felt he should do his own stunt work, he was nearly fatally injured.
This film kept me in suspense to the very end. I give it your top rating.
Excellent Opening Song.......2003-02-06
I found the movie a little slow at times, but I enjoyed some of the suspense the movie had to offer. I really like the song by the sister group, very original. The movie deserves two stars for the acting and one for that song. I would recommend this movie to friends.
Too Predictable!.......2001-01-04
This is a movie like another 1000. It's full of common places ,it has nothing new to offer. Decent performances, but without a solid argument. The DVD feautres (interviews, etc...) are quite good, better than many other films, good image, good sound. Honestly, I can not recommend this movie unless you want to espend almost two hours seeing a movie with nothing to offer but a little suspense.

PSYCHOLOGICAL DOODOO.......2005-11-15
I saw Ripper I and don't remember a whole lot about it, so in going into RIPPER 2, I was a little leary about what to expect. If you haven't seen the first Ripper, this one will probably be confusing anyway. A different actress takes over the role of Molly and there's so much plot twisting and lack of cohesion that this movie is merely a dull waste of time. The trend of overabundant lesbian sex is once again used as padding and the murders are staged so haphazardly no terror is induced. The acting by all is really pretty bad. Let's hope we don't have a RIPPER 3, although its ambiguous ending suggests we might be burdened with it. This reviewer will not go for a third run though!
