The 11th Aggression
About The Film - The 11th Aggression
Taken from the archives of multiple police departments and based on a real-life series of brutal murders that occured over a period of eleven years, the tense story laid out by critically acclaimed director, Charles Peterson (White Rabbit, Creep, Laws of Deception and more) reflects a new style of story-telling.
Updated handling of the tried-and-true "experienced detective with a rookie partner" format brings the audience deep inside the thoughts, prejudices, problems and controversies of Detective Karl Garret (Lanny Rethaber), a go-by-the-book, proven warrior as he clashes with the brash, shoot-from-the-hip, irreverant junior Detective Trevor Davidson (Patrick Adams) as they fight the clock searching for the self-loathing serial killer, Jeffery Walters (Steve Furedy).
A former infiltrator/assassin/torturer who was trained by the military to handle covert operations with no restrictions and who has now been abandoned by that same arm of government, Walters finds that he takes pleasure in settling scores with ordinary people who show him "no respect". He settles those scores the only way he knows how...torture and murder. Who better than he to illustrate just what makes a human being transport himself past the normal aggression threshold...who better to reach the unthinkable level - "The 11th Aggression"?
Superb screenplay and dialogue displaying the writer's ability to get us inside the heads and hearts of the characters and how each characater controls his or her own aggressive behavior serves the audience well in recognizing ourselves as one who might step over the line when we're intimidated or wronged by another human being.
Quick-paced, sharp, well-honed and slickly presented by the lense without being quirky, this study in human nature and not-so-humane actions focuses on just how difficult it is for modern law enforcement to cope with the never-ending ability of mankind to devise new ways to force hurt on us all.
Follow the two detectives, their women, their co-workers, their families and their minds as they twist and turn their way through the maze left by a determined, skilled serial killer as he doles out his revenge on those who encounter him. Follow as they track him through the seemy side of town, past the all-night dives, the willing ladies of the night, the former military bosses and those who would deceive them as they slowly, inevitably capture their prey.
Don't be surprised if you recognize yourself as one who could surpass the normal confines of conscience and step into The 11th Aggression.
