Damaged follows a mysterious serial killer who had successfully executed his killing massacre of five innocent people in Chicago, without getting caught. At that time Dan Lawson had looked into the case, without success. Five years later, the same pattern of killings begins in Scotland. The Scottish authorities are better prepared though, and they send for Lawson.
Now Lawson and Scottish detective Glen Boyd must solve the crime with their team before the serial killer claims more lives. With cryptic messages, twisted mind games, and brutal murders, Damaged follows a ‘Silence of the Lambs’ trajectory without offering any hint of cannibalism yet. But the film makes up for the thrills by including loads of ritualistic and symbolic clues, as well as morbidly artistic murder scenes, along with a sprinkling of personal demons for all.
Damaged may not have a unique premise, but its execution may make up for it, if it delivers what it promises. The film’s talented cast comprises of the likes of Samuel L. Jackson as Dan Lawson, Gianni Capaldi as Glen Boyd, Vincent Cassel as Bravo, Kate Dickie as Kessler, John Hannah as McGregor, and Mark Holden as Captain Ford.
