“Damaged” (** out of four) was a disappointing suspense thriller about a hard-boiled Chicago detective (Samuel L. Jackson) who travels to Scotland and teams up with a Scottish investigator (Gianni Capaldi) when a series of gruesome murders show the signs of a serial killer from years earlier. Promising beginning soon fizzles out as film becomes monotonous and plodding. Film holds you with its atmosphere of moldering menace but it leads to a preposterous conclusion which “damages” the whole film.
