The plot plays out in segments corresponding to dates, beginning on July 4th and spans a period of about two weeks. Set in Houston, the story involves a hotshot young investigator named Audrey Macleah (Ally Walker) assigned to assist police Captain Swaggert (Martin Sheen) in a grisly case of severed hands. Up until near the end this film held my attention. Title (Brazil): "Assassinatos Macabros" ("Macabre Murders") Tara Subkoff is also amazing with her double-role.

Ally Walker has a great performance in the role of a professional with many specializations, but also with a trauma from her childhood. "When the Bough Breaks" is a surprisingly solid thriller, with a well developed dark story and a good conclusion. Audrey dedicates her attention to Jordan and discovers that he is connected to the serial-killer. When the police department receives a call from a medical doctor in an institution, Audrey visits him and the doctor introduces the autistic boy Jordan Thomas (Tara Subkoff) to her, disclosing seven hands that the boy had drawn on the wall. The highly qualified Special Investigator Audrey Macleah (Ally Walker) is assigned to join the team and give support to the investigation. Captain Swaggert (Martin Sheen) is investigating the discovery of seven hands, each one precisely severed and with a number tattooed on the palm, along many years but without any lead. On July, 4th in Houston, a teenager finds a human hand in the sewer. Although I wish it is edited better with some semblance of style. This movie doesn't have the flashiness and I actually don't mind. The scenes in the hospital are too slow and the movie drags in too many places. I wish the case is better written for these characters' sake. The teen in the mental hospital is too much and too cliché. Giving her claustrophobia is a nice touch. Ally Walker is pretty good as this driven profiler character. This is a mix bag of interesting characters and unreal over-stylized characteristics.
