  Teeheehee! This kind of reminds me of a parallel version of Saw, which paradoxically takes itself more seriously but has a greater sense of fun. A bunch of impossibly smart, conveniently wounded and hubristically arrogant characters are stranded on an island and pitted against a serial killer that apparently has the powers of telepathy and precognition. It's like death-by-Rube-Goldberg-device set against the backdrop of a gritty police procedural drama. It's the strangest and funniest thing to watch. There are scenes that totally grip you in suspense (though in hindsight, what you're watching was ridiculous), and scenes of flippant humour that help the audience bond to the characters. This is such a great popcorn horror movie. I have nothing bad to say about it. When the writers give him cheese, Renny Harlin makes an omelette.

  28/08/2010 (TELEVISION)<br/><br/>A great "Twistie Flick" that lives up to it's title, I was actually loosing my mind during my experience. Funny, I have a collection of DVDs I haven't seen and yet I choose to watch TV... What is that?<br/><br/>Anyway, this movie was able to extract the consistency of my interest and keep me there till the end. I must admit, for someone like me to keep guessing is unusual. I usually know who the culprit is before the film ends, but this time I was going back and fourth.<br/><br/>This is another one I have never heard of but enjoyed and it was more than a decent watch in my opinion. I have never seen some of these actors and actresses before but they did deliver the goods and the final product was indeed a worthy check.

  Kilmer back on some form here as an FBI trainer taking his new recruits to an abandoned island for some serial killer catcher training....oh you just know its gonna go tits up right lol!! Clearly a flick of hopes as the cast is pretty good, Christian Slater, Kilmer, Clifton Collins Jr, Jonny Lee Miller and LL Cool J are all onboard for this slasher. Think 'Scream' or any kind of horror film in that kind of vain and you have this reasonable killer chiller, there is plenty of dark rooms, jumpy moments, silent corridors and nice death sequences in the form of little traps which do remind you alittle of 'Final Destination' and are quite well done too. There is plenty of claret on display and some gruesome kills which look good and keep you engaged right to the end, alittle predictable in the outcome but still quite enjoyable but the finale is slightly flat. At the end of the day this is simply a group of people stuck in a building getting killed off one at a time, hardly genius is it....but its silly fun which is worth alook if your a fan of the stalk n slash genre.

  Recently added to my collection. Proper review to follow. If you liked Suspect Zero youll like this movie.

  This is a very good little know film. It's a mix of cat and mouse thriller with the FBI trying to track a killer at one of their training facilities. It starts as a thriller and soon becomes a horror as puzzles are put in the teams way similar to the traps in the Saw films. Along with an impressive cast and great setting this is worth hunting out.

  Although this is a little corny in parts, it's definitely my type of movie. Criminal profilers in a situation of survival. I'm not quite sure if Johnny Lee Miller's accent was entirely convincing to anyone else, it seemed really over the top to me, but maybe… More
  Although this is a little corny in parts, it's definitely my type of movie. Criminal profilers in a situation of survival. I'm not quite sure if Johnny Lee Miller's accent was entirely convincing to anyone else, it seemed really over the top to me, but maybe that's because I know what his speaking voice is like usually. Maybe people who enjoyed 'Saw' would like this film, although there is slightly less gore

  The classical Whodunnit-theme in times of CSI thrillers. The movies tries a little hard to be cool and some of the dialogues are rather cheesy in their first semester psychology blabla. But the victim list is pretty surprising, the plot rather unforseeable and the showdown is quite original, except for the stereotype of the blabbering villain. Entertaining, but Renny Harlin has been known to do more spectacular movies than this.

  It's an exciting and explosive physiological thriller with solid action-packed intensity. It's a mind-blowing, bone-chilling and pulse-racing thrill-ride. Brilliant and breathtaking suspense. You'll be thrilled and chilled to the end of this explosive flick. You wont belive what happens next. CSI meets Criminel minds.

  The idea is the same as Agatha Christie's "Ten little Indians" but the whole story is conceived in such an unlikely way that most of the flick looks ridiculous.

  Though it does boarder as an effective B thriller, it's ultimately far too asinine to work. The plot and overall setup is so ridiculous that it distracts from the atmosphere and sense of tension the film sets out to create. Even LL Cool J's one liners aren't enough to overcome the glaring scripting issues.

  This was intense....!!!! You will not believe the ending! This should be a hall of fame classic...soon! See this with low blood pressure!!! LOL!!!

  I was well entertained, whilst trying to guess who done it.

  Trainees in the FBI's psychological profiling program must put their training into practice when they discover a killer in their midst. .............. Mindhunters has a few decent ideas and moments. The one liners were very cheesy, but somewhat amusing like the rest of the film. The movie has twist and turns, which I enjoyed, it kept me guessing. ......... ' Iny, miny, mino, mo. Who's the next motherfucker to go? '

  This movie entertains....just forget about logic, the gaping plot holes and far-fetched storylines..the 'profiler' angle is merely a plot device...this film is more in the whodunit/slasher genre..think more along the lines of 'ten little indians' or survivor island. The two major stars really have a limited role in the movie, and the rest of the cast is simply adequate. All that being said, this movie will hold your interest and provide the standard plot twist at the end you never saw coming.

  Not too bad a movie if you are not like me and don't start analyzing the probablility of movie traps actually working the way they do in real life and that people are actually stupid enough to fall for it. BEST PART is that they kill off Christian Slater early. I can't believe he was once a decent actor. Of course I once thought Gremlins was the greatest movie ever.

  Keeps you guessing at times and other times completley predictable. Not horrible and there is a early death that suprised me but overall, huge, gaping plotholes and kills that are unrealistic made this one average but watchable.

• Barry L

  
  Beleive it or not although a little predictable this was a great thriller with some good twists.

  Great movie! I think I've commented on this before, oh well. Great cast. Fantastic story plot.

  Admittedly I didn't expect much out of this film. I mean if you look at who's starring in it, the combination adds up to bad movie, as well as the director of such "jems" as Die Hard 2, Deep Blue Sea, and Driven, wasn't someone to expect alot from. So going… More
  Admittedly I didn't expect much out of this film. I mean if you look at who's starring in it, the combination adds up to bad movie, as well as the director of such "jems" as Die Hard 2, Deep Blue Sea, and Driven, wasn't someone to expect alot from. So going into film, I figured it was gonna suck. I was surprised that it wasn't too bad. It pretty much employed all the tired visuals of action films that we have seen over and over again, especially with the polishy look and the blue tint. The script also is pretty terrible, setting you up for the most run of the mill plot you could ever hope to find in a film, as well as cringe enducing dialogue and dramatics that make you want to slap your head. I'll stop there with the criticisms as I'm sure you can assume the rest. All that being said the film has some interesting original aspects, unfortunetly they are overshadowed by sheer mediocrity. Not bad, but nothing to write home about, nothing to even tell your neighbor about. I mean it doesn't even come to to warning them not to see it, they'll probably get enough entertainement out of it to not consider the better part of 2hrs wasted, but that's all they'll get out of it. Even they can even remember the film further than a week.

  Would have been terrible if not for LL Cool J's line: "eenie meenie miney moe, who will be the next mutha fucka to go?"
