    1 am astounded that I am the first person to review this excellent film at this late date 11/20/2005. This is a smart, fast paced original serial killer film the likes of which I have not seen since “Subject Zero”. The aforementioned movie does not hold a candle to “Copycat” thou the originality is comparable. Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter are perfect opposites and make this film so much more interesting. Mulroney and Weavers seen to develop an affection for one another. but his untimely death leaves you wanting for more. The killer himself is of very little importance as it is the original script that drives this high energy drama. This has got to be the benchmark movie for all serial Killer movies and is a must see for those who can not get enough of these films, This is without a doubt a DVD collectable and the price happens to be right at this time.

    Gripping from start to finish, "Copycat" has so many unique elements that seeing it for the first time, 11 years after its theatrical release, the film still stands out as a great crime thriller. The movie does not seek out to exploit, but instead provides us with an interesting case that dives deeper than just surface level. The characters are written and acted very well and make the film all the more inimitable. I would highly suggest this film to anyone who is a fan of great crime action/thrillers.
