There's a maniac on the loose calling himself the Cassanova, and he's only interested in collecting beautiful, talented, and rather defiant women. He's been on a reign of terror for quite some time and he revels in toying with the police. "He knows how to play the game" is quite frequently uttered by the police trying to pick up on his trail... unfortunately for them, he hasn't left one.
It isn't until D.C. forensic psychologist Dr. Cross' (Morgan Freeman) neice has gone missing from her South Dakota college that he gets involved and things begin to turn around. With his keen eye, sharp mind, and plenty of experience, Cross manages to pick up on subtleties that until then the local "research triangle" police hadn't.
Very soon after his arrival in the Dakotas, another of the missing girls is found dead, tied to a tree. Shortly after that yet another goes missing (#12), a strong willed (and athletic) medical student, Kate Mctiernan (Ashley Judd).
Mctiernan manages to be the only one ever to escape from Cassanova, and she befriends Dr. Cross, also helping him out with the case. They chase Cassanova through the Dakota countryside, to California (only to find a competitor his, also collecting women), and back again.
It all comes to a boil in a tense ending where Mctiernan must hold her own against the now revealed Cassanova (in a predictable twist), to wait until Cross can arrive and negotiate her release.
A competent thriller, Kiss The Girls features good acting and some interesting ideas, but it too often falls into predicability or else tries too hard not to, which winds up breaking the suspense. Overall it's a good show, and worth a watch if you like this type of thing.
