Creepy, tense and enigmatic, Renny Harlin's Mindhunters is a grizzly cross between Agatha Christie's whodunnit classic And Then There Were None and Jonathan Demme's horrifying The Silence of the Lambs. An interesting ensemble cast including Christian Slater (Windtalkers), Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting), L.L. Cool J (Harlin's Deep Blue Sea)and Kathryn Morris (television's Cold Case) portray promising FBI profilers-in-training. Val Kilmer plays their ambiguous instructor putting the candidates through their paces and leaving them for a weekend on a spooky island, where those who survive a terrifying exercise--penetrating the mind of a serial killer via elaborate clues--will go to the head of the class. But the rules change when the students themselves turn out to be victims, bumped off one after another, the survivors half-mad with suspicion and paranoia that the murderer is one of their own. The film's concept is sound even if the execution (so to speak) gets out of hand with problems of logic. Among other things, none of these characters could possibly find time to pull off some of the psychopath's more complicated killing rituals. Quibbles aside, however, Mindhunters is particularly watchable if one is in the mood for a movie that plays mind games. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

it's "agatha christie" good
If you have ever read or seen the Agatha Christie "And then there were none" then this will be familiar. It's working out who's doing the murders thats the great part - keeps you going until the end.

A great film, and some extras.

keeps you thinking all the way to the end!!!
If you are a fan of psychological thrillers then this film is for you. There wasn't one moment in this film when I was sure I knew what was going to happen. Considering this was something of an unknown film I was seriously impressed. The death scenes are quite gruesome to be honest, and not for the weak stomached, but brialliantly presented and extremeley entertaining. As I said, this film keeps you guessing right to the very end and even when you think you have it sussed it takes another few twists and turns. Definately reccommended and certainly something that will be on my DVD shelf before too long!

brilliant!
I spotted this dvd in the video shop and had never even heard of it, but with all the big names starring in it like Val Kilmer and Christian Slater I figured it was worth watching. It turned out to be the best film I've seen all year. Its an edge of your seat thriller which leaves you guessing as to the killers identity literally right to the end. Fairly scary stuff too with some gruesome deaths. So good that I went out the next day and bought it! An excellent film, I'm really amazed as to why it never made it to the cinemas in Europe! See this film as soon as possible.
