After his girlfriend is killed by the serial killer he's chasing, FBI agent Jake Malloy falls apart. That's why he's sent to a rehab centre in the middle of nowhere, a clinic for cops with problems - burnt out cases, alcoholics and worse. But Malloy can't escape his demons: soon after he arrives, people start dying. They seem to be suicides but Jake isn't so sure. Has his serial killing nemesis followed him into the wilderness...?

D-Tox is a thriller in which A is unrelated to B, and after B comes D. The editing must be to blame, because nobody would invest $55 million in a script that stupid. Poor Sylvester Stallone, who tried so hard as an actor...

D-Tox could be split into three parts. At the beginning we have the classic hunt for a killer, this is followed by an existential drama where Sly unsuccessfully tries to wring some deeper emotions out of himself, and then comes a murder spree in a cramped space from which there is no escape, following the template "the killer is among us and guess who survives". Shot in widescreen format, D-Tox was originally supposed to be released in cinemas, but after disastrous test screenings, it was relegated to VHS. No wonder, given the leaky, hackneyed script and the visuals of a cheesy B-movie.
