A "whodunit" of the 21st Century (by derekauthor) |
FBI trainees in the criminal profiling division get stuck on an island with a sadistic serial killer while going through a simulation organized by their eccentric teacher Val Kilmer . The serial killer kills victims by using booby traps.The movie reminded me of a cross between SAW and FINAL DESTINATION, with a 21st century twist on Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians". This combination of movies and books made this movie a lot of fun. Other contributing factors included the performances especially by Kathryn Morris as a vulnerable trainee , a fast pace, imaginative directing <more> |
Stood The Test Of Time (by denis888) |
Sometimes, I wonder why such awesome films as Mindhunters was bashed by film critics and was a flop in theaters. Released in 2004, it has stood the test of time well and is viewed very fresh and well now. The reason - shorter time, excellent cast, with Jonny Lee Miller, Kathryn Morris and LL Cool J among the best, excellent pacing and very good camera work. I do recommend this FBI mouse-cat-whodunnit-drama as it offers many thrills and holds you at the edge of your seat. Excellent nail-biting thriller where you never guess who the main culprit is till the very end. It is also fine for its <more> |
good actors "cook" an excellent thriller (by laurica30) |
This movie is an example of a good thriller recipe. It has a graduate suspense, you never know how things will evolve and if you think you do, you are wrong. It combines psychological hints with rising terror and the result is breathtaking. Most of the actors are well known and this story could happen in real life too, producers didn't exaggerate the elements much out of the ordinary. The location of the action, a deserted island, is great for the plot, as it provides several different sceneries giving diversity to the action. The characters are well outlined, each has his/her <more> |
Have seen this, and I think... (by freo-1) |
it was quite a good thriller. Not sure why it's been held off for so long, I don't believe the "re-filming" comments. I mean, I have a good quality copy of it, and I don't think they would have put that out unless it was finished, would they? Anyway, I highly recommend it. It's scary enuff to shock you in a few spots, thrilling enough to get you thinking about who is killing who, and with enough "Stars" in it to keep you watching. Go see it.. .if it is ever released!! |
Unexpected (by Rae_Artemis) |
I like this movie, I am very jaded when it comes to movies but with this one I was unsure of who was the bad guy and who was going to die. And when they did die I was shocked by the way they died and the order! It was brilliant! The fact of the matter is while it is a action movie it is also a drama. A thriller. A mystery. And a touch gory! As a movie fan who always tries to figure out the murderer and the when and where and how of for a kill list I was impressed by it. I was a little disappointed with Todd Smith but he did rather well. I like the director's take on the story and the <more> |
Two Thumbs Up!!! (by irisofdarkness) |
Mindhunters is a great film. It incorporates the elements that make a good thriller. It is both suspenseful and fast paced. The acting is not the best but not the worst either. The action is relentless and the special effects are pretty good. But to me the best thing about this film other than the story is how deep we delve into the characters minds, and get to know their weaknesses and strengths. It's very psychological and it makes you think. Many times during the movie, I tried to recall things that happened earlier, like hints that the director was giving us throughout the movie, of <more> |
It has it flaws but it's better than a lot of other stuff out there (by martine-12) |
I've read comments pointing out that this movie has ripped a lot of ideas from other movies and that there are situations that are so over the top that they get silly.To that I say; Sure, why not? It's still entertaining.I agree that they could have used the cast differently and that some of the plot points are quite unbelievable but on the whole it doesn't distract from the tension and the setting of the movie.The profilers sometimes act pretty stupid and out of character but the actors do a very decent job portraying them and Renny Harlin has actually done a really good job with <more> |
does what it's supposed to (by lix) |
I found Mindhunters to be a thoroughly entertaining movie that did have some good surprises and moments. The story is as original as it could be, although, one can argue that the whole group in isolation getting picked off one by one thing has been done before. I will not give away too much of the movie so that you can be surprised at the twists that it offers, except I must make one comment. Why on earth do they let LL Cool J have some of the most ridiculously stupid one liners. I mean, if he wants to be bought as a believable actor, he needs to put an end to this madness. I am sure you will <more> |
A very insightful film--even better from an intellectual viewpoint (by goodmanhunting2003) |
The lady doth protest too much...I personally thought this was a good film, with a lot of interesting sub-texts. No film is perfect, so I was hardly expecting it to be a "Usual Suspects" calibre-film, or "American Beauty" to name but two of my favourite all-time ones , but it was excellent for giving food for thought.The idea about people exposing their weaknesses and their strengths and how that can be used against them was scary. I took one cue from this movie--and that was, perhaps naively, it's not always too good to show too much of what type of person you are. <more> |
