CHAPTER

Murder, Myth, and Modernity

This chapter explores a gripping film narrative that begins with a brutal triple homicide linked to a real estate tycoon in Battery Park, New York City. It analyzes the intersection of urban life and ancient superstitions through the eyes of a charismatic Irish detective, while humorously contrasting the macabre with moments of levity amidst the investigation. The discussion also reflects on themes of terrorism, radicalism, and the impact of corporate interests on law enforcement during the gritty backdrop of 1980s New York.
