Prodigal Son
(2019)
Regisseur:
Chris Fedak, Sam SklaverSchauspieler:
Tom Payne, Bellamy Young, Lou Diamond Phillips, Aurora Perrineau, Frank Harts, Michael Sheen, Keiko Agena, Halston SageIm Zentrum von „Prodigal Son“ Malcolm Bright (Tom Payne), dessen Vater Martin Whitley (Michael Sheen) „The Surgeon“ ist, einer der gefürchtetsten Serienkiller aller Zeiten. Malcolm wurde durch die Enthüllungen über seinen Vater zutiefst verstört, arbeitet aber nun trotz diverser Verhaltensauffälligkeiten als Profiler für die Polizei von New York, wo Cop Gil (Lou Diamond Phillips) ihn als wichtiges Mitglied seines Teams ansieht – manch Teamkollege sieht das anders. Malcolms Mutter Jessica (Bellamy Young) ist eine in Ungnade gefallene New Yorker Society-Lady, seine Schwester (Halston Sage) eine emotional durch die Enthüllungen deutlich weniger aus der Bahn geworfene, aber doch recht explosive Journalistin. Dass alle drei Familienmitglieder Kontakt zu ihm suchen, macht Malcolms Alltag nicht gerade einfacher.
Prodigal Son centers on Malcolm Bright who has a gift. He knows how killers think, how their minds work. Why? Back in the ‘90s, his father was one of the worst–a notorious serial killer called "The Surgeon." That's why Bright is the best criminal psychologist around; murder is the family business. Bright uses his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with a manipulative mother, annoyingly normal sister, a homicidal father still looking to bond with his prodigal son, and his own constantly evolving neuroses.
