Continuity mistake: Ashley Judd has just handcuffed the bad guy to the stove, Morgan Freeman walks in and has the little talk with the bad guy why not to light the lighter and blow up the room. Just when Morgan Freeman shoots the bad guy in the head, the bad guy flies back with BOTH arms visibly flying backwards. In the next shot with the bad guy dead, his hand is once again handcuffed to the stove. (01:50:30)

"Kiss the girls" feels like a conventional thriller, but the magnetism, if not the performance itself, by Morgan Freeman manages to prevent it to completely fall apart, with enough credibility to spare to spark some interest for a sequel/franchise. I am not familiar with the original novel, but they tend to be thoroughly disregarded in their cinematic adaptation, so I am just going by what transpires here. The plot is quite frankly, uninteresting, forced and formulaic. As a mystery gives no real clue about the culprit's identity and plenty reasons to contradict it, complete with utter cheating (such as showing him in the crowd when he couldn't be, and use a different voice actor). The only part to salvage might be the premise of the victim who escapes and gets (in unlikely and underdeveloped way) past her PTS to help capture 'him'. Photography is pretty solid, direction is uninspired and with several blunders. Performances are solid, and it is definitely watchable.
The best part about this movie is that it's not its sequel.
7.6/10. Possibly the best movie Ashley Judd's made with her as the lead. She's pretty solid here with a stellar performance alongside Morgan Freeman and Cary Elwes I like the pacing here as it mixes detective noir, thriller, and action in a nice package. Sure she's a whiner nowadays but no denying Judd's capability. If anything, she should've stuck with this sort of solid, good script.

Answer: I think you're talking about 'Silence of the Lambs,' not Kiss the Girls. The song is 'Goodbye Horses' by Psyche.
