Law student (Ewan McGregor) takes a night job as a security guard at the Medical Examiner's office, which contains the morgue and is conveniently a very dark and gothic place. Meanwhile a serial killer is murdering prostitutes who end up in the morgue our protagonist is patrolling. The secondary plot involves our protagonists friend (Josh Brolin) and his his need for excitement, which crosses over with the serial killer plot.
Starts off looking intriguing but lacks much suspense, and the script should have been tightened up either that or they cut too much of the original 2 1/2 hour version of the film.
In some not so original casting Nick Nolte plays a tired cop and Brad Dourif plays a creepy doctor. as for the rest of the cast, Ewan McGregor is the most ineffective I have ever seen him, Josh Brolin is bland while Patricia Arquette and John C Reilly are completely wasted.
