Grisly murders occur in a small town. Two FBI agents arrive, set up their cameras in three interview rooms, and set up interviews of three survivors: a girl of about nine, a foul-mouthed cop with a bandaged hand, and a young woman of about 20 who uses drugs. Each tells their story as the male FBI agent listens and watches from a separate room: the girl draws for and talks to the female agent, the local chief interviews the injured cop, and two officers interview the young woman. As they tell their stories, some of which are inaccurate and self-serving, we see what actually happened the day before. Can the agents or anyone else put the pieces together?
斯蒂芬妮和伊丽莎白。或许这才是我们忽视的。年輕而邪惡的氣質。直觉中最不现实一丝担心竟变成现实。黑色的，太黑色的！。不止让人只看一遍的电影。导演走极端观众很被动。Surveillance。烂片！有同感的进来。关于电影《监视》（Surveillance）放过小女孩的一点理解（严重剧透）。
