Split Second is a British science fiction thriller movie directed by Tony Maylam and released in 1992. The movie is set in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future where London has become submerged in water, and the population is struggling to survive in the flooded city.
Rutger Hauer plays Detective Harley Stone, a police officer haunted by the murder of his partner by a mysterious and brutal serial killer. Stone becomes obsessed with catching the killer, who has been leaving a trail of mutilated bodies across the city.
As Stone investigates the case, he discovers that the killer he is hunting might not be human and may have supernatural abilities. With the help of his new partner, Michelle McLaine (played by Kim Cattrall), Stone races against time to track down the killer before more innocent people are killed.
The movie also features several subplots, including Stone's drinking problem and his troubled relationship with McLaine. The film's overall dark tone and gritty visual effects are supported by a moody, electronic score that adds to the movie's tension and atmosphere.
