Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer

About This Movie

Trackdown: Finding the Goodbar Killer is a gritty exploration of urban crime in the late 70s and early 80s New York. Bill Persky directs with a focus on the darker side of human nature, blending crime and drama effectively. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to breathe in the tension that builds as a detective and a victim’s colleague delve deeper into the killer's psyche. The performances, especially by the lead actors, carry a weight that feels genuine and reflective of the fear that gripped the city during that time. The atmosphere is thick with unease, and there's a rawness to the practical effects that enhances the film's realism. It's not just about finding a killer; it's a commentary on society's failings and the vulnerabilities of single women.
