Episode 96: Kiss the Girls (1997)

In this episode of Dave’s Movie Diary, I revisit Kiss the Girls (1997), a film that arrived during what I still think was one of the greatest years at the movies. The late 90s were full of serial killer thrillers, and this was one of the better examples of the genre, with Morgan Freeman bringing Alex Cross to life and Ashley Judd delivering a fantastic performance as a survivor fighting to escape.

I look back at why these films were such a big part of the culture at the time, whether Kiss the Girls still works when you already know the identity of the killer, and how it holds up alongside other thrillers from that era. A glossy, entertaining and well-crafted thriller that remains a fascinating snapshot of 1997.
