Relentless IV: Ashes to Ashes really digs into the gritty underbelly of a detective's life, blending horror and thriller elements quite effectively. Sam Dietz, played by the ever-reliable Leo Rossi, is drawn into the chaos of a serial killer on the loose, all while navigating the complexities of his personal relationships. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing carries that sense of urgency throughout. There's something raw about the practical effects that adds a layer of authenticity, even if it doesn't always hit the mark. The interplay between Dietz and the two women in his life—his partner and his psychiatrist—creates this strange emotional tension that amplifies the stakes. It’s a solid entry in the franchise that explores themes of obsession and duality in both the killer and the investigator.
