'Night Game' a foul ball
Added 4/1/2009
In NIGHT GAME, a Houston-based, revenge driven nut who's specially equipped for homicide commits beachside murders of young blondes every time a certain Astros pitcher appears under the lights.
Roy Scheider is Mike Seaver, an ex-police detective trying to catch this serial killer. Karen Young as his girlfriend Roxy bares her chest in the first reel, while Richard Bradford as fellow cop Nelson seems caught in a profane loop. A few digressive sub-plots go unresolved in this very '80s, very ordinary, sports-themed crime thriller.
As of 4/09, "Night Game" was not available on DVD.
