A Killer Within 2004 Horror Movie Review

Addison Terrill (C. THOMAS HOWELL), a former district attorney now in a lucrative private practice, has what seems to be the perfect life.  Sharing a successful law firm with his best friend, Sam Moss (BEN BROWDER), Addison’s career is on the rise and he has a luxurious home, a beautiful, sexy wife, Becky (SEAN YOUNG), and a bright young son.  But life as he knows it is turned upside down when he arrives home from work late one night to find his wife brutally murdered and his son unconscious in critical condition at the hospital.  Now, fingered as a suspect by the police, Addison must race to find the real killer and prove his innocence before it’s too late.  Out of desperation with no where else to turn, Addison must put his trust in the only other person tied to the case, ex-cop Jesus Vargas (GIANCARLO ESPOSITO).  Bitter and humiliated by his removal from the police force, Vargas holds Addison personally responsible for ending his career in law enforcement, and his motivation for finding the killer may not be to Addison’s advantage.  In order to solve the case and find the true killer, both men must put their differences aside and their lives on the line.  Their search leads them through the city’s underworld and into a wicked web of deceit.  As hard truths become revealed and dark secrets begin to unfold, the ring of suspects close in around Addison and he finds himself questioning the very people he trusted.
