The Killing Time. 1987.
Another Keifer Sutherland film from his early days, here he plays a psychopath who kills a cop, assumes his identity and travels to a small town to become the new deputy to Sheriff Joe Don Baker who is planning on retiring to Mexico and Beau Bridges is stepping up the ladder. Nothing complicated but there is a sting in the tail, Bridges is having a fling with a married woman Camelia Lynne and plan on killing her husband Wayne Rogers and framing the new deputy.
This is certainly not a big masterpiece, there is one or two bits that hype up the film with suspense but its not played out well, this is not the actors fault but seems like the director got a bit over excited at the moment then crashed and burned out dramatically and pretty much a bad predicted ending. This was entertaining but not one id rush back to rewatch any time soon.
