slowly builds up its creepiness
Henry Adler (Tom McCamus) sees a cop get shot on the streets of Toronto and uses it in his acting audition. His boss wants him to quit his acting hobby and concentrate on his bank job. He lives alone. He gets a job playing hard cop Flannigan on the harsh TV show Crime Wave. Charlette Warner (Brigitte Bako) plays the hooker with a heart of gold. Henry starts walking the streets wearing the realistic costume. The bank gets robbed by a Marilyn Monroe type and Detective Itch investigates Henry. His father is hospitalized by a stroke. He starts dating Charlette who then pushes him away. After his TV job ends, he continues to walk the streets as a cop and gets involved with corrupt cop Frank.
This is a smaller budget Canadian movie. The production looks like it. It starts slowly. Tom McCamus is a skinny lanky type. He's more of a character actor. He does build up to a good creepiness. He's a wimp play acting who is pushed too far in the climatic scene. There are secondary stories that get big introductions and then abandoned. This is shooting for Taxi Driver but doesn't achieves anything quite so exceptional. It's still an admirable attempt.
