Separate plot, in addition to thriller also a bit of mystery, which becomes increasingly messy as the film progresses. Despite the fact that I'm a bit tired of Freeman (he was once quite good) I still dared to try this ritual killer. Apart from the improbable surrounding Randoku, Mackles' role soon became clear, especially towards the end. The final, the last scene with Boyd was even dramatically badly made up. Good thing the playing time was short.
What also strikes me is Freeman's straight face on the movie poster; in reality, he's starting to look like he got run over by a truck anyway.

Detective Lucas Boyd [Cole Hauser] investigates a bizarre series of murders that he connects to traditional African rituals. So he enlists the help of Dr. Mackles [Morgan Freeman] who concludes from the evidence that it is Muti, a form of magic used by traditional medicine men. To find out the identity of the killer, Boyd needs help from colleagues from countries where this mysterious killer has previously lived. Standard detective thriller comes to life when the sinister killer (an impressive Vernon Davis) appears and has a not-so-nice finale. Furthermore, this is formulaic and routine. Freeman's contribution, incidentally, does not amount to much.

not a bad movie.
but Morgan Freeman's contribution is, very, very minimal.
in the end he also carries some kind of secret.
the creepy "Randoku" (an impressive Vernon Davis) plays his role convincingly
I didn't expect the ending.
just long enough not to get annoying
