Description: Jim McLeod is a hard-nosed and cynical detective. He believes in a strict interpretation of the law and doesn't believe in turning the other cheek. The current object of his zealousness is Karl Schneider, an abortionist responsible for the death of several young women. Schneider's lawyer tells the precinct lieutenant that McLeod has his own personal reasons for going after his client. It turns out that his wife was a patient before they met, although Jim knew nothing of it. His world suddenly turned upside down, McLeod is too late in re-evaluating his priorities...

Some news...

Hi guys

It is bad news and good news...


Bad news is that the situation among most popular 1-click hosters is still uncertain. After Filesonic and Fileserve accounts, now also Hotfile account of mine has been blocked and all files wiped out. Rapidshare, which now seems to be top choice of many people, reduces download speed of free users to average of 30 Kb/s, which is insane. There are some hosts that offer good speeds for free users, but not to popular or very strict when it comes to copyrights, so we still have to wait...


And good news is, as some of people asked for it, I will post a new movie soon as a Torrent file. My upload speed is slow and I can not seed it all the time, so cooperation of other seeders will be needed. I will check how it looks and what is the response and then re-consider future of Torrent files...
