Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Creepy, tense, and enigmatic, Renny Harlin's Mindhunters is a grisly cross between Agatha Christie's whodunit 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 (Melinda and Melinda), 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. The rules change, however, 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

Product Description

The government's best and brightest discover there is a killer among them in this intense psychological action-thriller featuring hot screen stars LL Cool J (S.W.A.T., ANY GIVEN SUNDAY) Val Kilmer (ALEXANDER, BATMAN FOREVER, TOP GUN), and Christian Slater (WINDTALKERS, ALONE IN THE DARK). An elite group of the FBI's most talented young profilers -- agents skilled in reading the minds of the most elusive serial killers -- is being intensively trained on a remote island. But they soon learn that someone who has been taught to capture serial killers has become one ... and there may be no way out alive! Also starring Kathryn Morris (MINORITY REPORT, TV's COLD CASE) and Jonny Lee Miller (DRACULA 2000, MANSFIELD PARK), this riveting thrill ride comes to you from hit-making director Renny Harlin (EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING, CLIFFHANGER, DIE HARD 2)!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent thriller!, January 13, 2004
This movie is great! It brings to mind elements of films like "Identity" and "And Then There Were None". Throw a group of profilers on an island, add a killer to take them out one by one, and you have a great thriller! I have to admit that I saw the previews and thought that maybe it was all a set up to test them, but after the first death, you know they aren't faking it! If you like last-minute plot twists, you'll love this movie. Fair warning that the deaths are incredibly graphic sometimes so no eating while watching. It was great to see Val Kilmer and Christian Slater back in action, even if they were in small parts (Kilmer has maybe 10 minutes of screen time).

5.0 out of 5 stars mindhunters, November 18, 2003
By "dibz78" (nottingham, nottinghamshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Fantastic!
A group of FBI wouldbe profilers sent to a remote island for a training exercise. Being killed off one by one. sounds a bit familiar? Not in the slightest!!!
This film isnt like anything you would be expecting, every little detail was thought out before production, the cast was to a T!wasnt too sure if LL Cool J would be able to pull off a role like this, as with my fellow Brit Johnny Lee Miller, but they were great. Slater back on form giving a fantastic performance as we all know he is capable of, Kilmer his usuall quirky greatness, and some fantastic performances from the lesser knowns.
Nothing in the movie is straight forward, you are kept on the edge of your seat from beginning to end trying to guess the outcome, keep trying but i dont think you will manage it as its twists keep going till the end!
BEWARE OF THE PUPPET MASTER!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Really Great Thriller Movie..., January 12, 2004
By A Customer
Talk about a mind boggling film... this is it. Mindhunters definitely touches the meaning of a true thriller movie. The anticipation you get right from the first second to the last is just great. The plot was very well told with no boring lags in between. Fast paced but not too fast. It really throws you off. If you're one of those people who enjoy thriller movies and having your mind just blown away then this is the film for you. I definitely give it a 5 out of 5. Magnificent job by the actors as well. Absolutely brilliant and a great recommended way to waste time.
