A group of seven FBI trainees is sent to an isolated island for the final stage of their training period under the direction of the eccentric Jake Harris (Val Kilmer), who uses questionable methods. However, they are attacked and killed... Full review
Renny Harlin isn't exactly known for making intelligent movies, but at least they're usually quite enjoyable. "Mindhunters", however, is so utterly stupid that it's hard to get any kind of enjoyment out of it, apart from maybe some unintentionally funny... Full review

Knowing Renny Harlin's track record, you never know what to expect from the Finnish director. It seems it's more or less random which of his films turn out to be crap or really quite good. I didn't know what to... Full review

No Spoilers AheadI saw the movie last night in the "sneak preview". I had no idea what kind of movie it was, except for the genre "thriller". Thriller is not right. It is more a "Thriller/Psycho/Horror Movie"Most of the movie... Full review

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... Full review

MINDHUNTERS may not offer anything that new to the serial killer genre but what it does do is entertain its audience. Despite watching and knowing that "everyone is a suspect" and being very familiar with the genre myself, I still... Full review

"It doesnt feel real without my gun, says wannabe FBI profiler Vince (Clifton Collins Jr.). The it in question is the test he and his fellow trainees are enduring, thanks to overtly perverse trainer Harris (Val Kilmer), who has deposited... ... Full Article

Renny Harlin is no Agatha Christie might be the understatement of the millennium, but since the director's long-delayed Mindhunters is clearly modeled after And Then There Were None (also known as Ten Little Indians ), a comparison is nonetheless unavoidable. ... Full Article

And it's only a little while longer before someone else is shouting, "This is what the killer wants!" as the remaining members of the group also begin to get picked off, "Ten Little Indians"-style, leading to the requisite finger-pointing, paranoia ... Full Article
