The ' skip tracer ' is the policeman of the business world. His job is to find the people who skip out on their bills and to manipulate them into paying up. John Collins is the best in the business. He's tough with the skips - he's heard all the sob stories and knows all the excuses. He is proud of the fact that nobody can touch his emotions. But cracks are appearing in the walls of his defences. Through these cracks he begins to see his victims as they really are - and to see himself. This remarkably assured feature film debut by Canadian Zale Dalen is a tough and uncompromising portrait of a modern anti-hero.
The rarest quality in the cinema is to be genuinely delighted by what you didn't expect And this small-budget but hugely successjul Canadian film is that kind of erent. (EVENING STANDARD) It is a fierce and relentless little film, with a chilling performance by Darid Peterson. (THE TIMES) Produced by LAARA DALEN. Written and directed by ZALE R. DALEN.
