Synopsis: Miami reporter Malcolm Anderson (Kurt Russell) is assigned to cover the murder of a young girl but gets pulled deep into the story when the killer calls to give him exclusive information.
Purr Blur: At one point Anderson goes to a trailer park to meet a man who may have information about the killer’s identity. As they walk toward the man’s home a black cat runs across the road, perhaps a foreshadowing of the turn things are about to take.
Cartoon Cat: Early in the film Anderson enters the newsroom to find photographer Andy (Joe Pantoliano) watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon on one of the monitors.
Final Mewsings: Black cats aren’t bad luck but they may be trying to tell you something!
Many thanks to Aaron Shuster for letting us know about the cat in this film.
