Mindhunters (2005)
Director: Renny Harlin
Movie review
From Time Out New York
Director Harlin made Exorcist: The Beginning and scripter Wayne Kramer wrote and directed The Cooler while this formulaic serial-killer thriller gathered dust, but it's finally rattling into theaters, like a skeleton that won't stay in its closet. Cleaving closely to Agatha Christie's venerable Ten Little Indians template, the movie strands eight victims-to-be (seven FBI profilers-in-training and a mysterious observer) on an island for an exercise. A fiendishly clever killer starts thinning the ranks: Who could it be? The twists and turns are too ridiculous to be predictable, but that doesn't make them scary.Author: MM
