Synopsis: Hiding within a group of eight FBI profilers is a serial killer. In the ultimate test of their crime-solving savvy, these endangered young agents – each compelled by his or her secret past to probe... Hiding within a group of eight FBI profilers is a serial killer. In the ultimate test of their crime-solving savvy, these endangered young agents – each compelled by his or her secret past to probe the criminal mind - must figure out who among them is a ruthless predator . . . before, one by one, they all fall prey to the killer's ingenious plan. With MINDHUNTERS, director Renny Harlin ("Cliffhanger," "Die Hard 2," "Deep Blue Sea," "Driven") gives the serial killer thriller an edge-of-your-seat whodunit twist. Inspired by Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians," the story crescendos in suspense as a group of brand new profilers realize that a terrible evil has entered their circle – and there may be no way out alive. When a simulated FBI training exercise turns shockingly real, with one of the agents meeting an unexpected demise, the profilers realize this is more than a final exam -- it's a battle for their lives. Completely isolated, the agents have no choice but to solve the heinous crime on their own. But how can they trust one another when they each possess the skills, the motives and the means to be the murderer? No one is above suspicion, or the perils of overwhelming fear, as they use everything in their power to uncover the killer's identity and end the relentless hunt. The ensemble cast of MINDHUNTERS includes Val Kilmer, Christian Slater, LL Cool J, Jonny Lee Miller, Kathryn Morris, Clifton Collins Jr., Will Kemp, Patricia Velasquez and Eion Bailey. The film, directed by Renny Harlin, is written by Wayne Kramer and Kevin Brodbin. The executive producers are Moritz Borman, Guy East, Nigel Sinclair and Renny Harlin. The film is produced by Cary Brokaw, Jeffery Silver, Bobby Newmyer and Rebecca Spikings. -- © Dimension Films [More]

In true serial-killer-stalks-victims fashion, the first hour is tense and the last hour is terrible.

For a movie that's been sitting in Miramax's storage bin for well over a year, Mindhunters isn't the train wreck one would have assumed.

Unintentionally hilarious on the one hand and scarier than it should be on the other.

In an era of wall-to-wall CSI, Mindhunters' ghoulish forensic hubbub not only feels tiring but hopelessly redundant.

Mindless...a tedious, pedestrian gorefest with neither the slightest degree of inventiveness or wit, nor the remotest sliver of sense.

The latest Harlin flick is a gore-filled, thrill-filled, ratchet tight roller coaster ride with an interesting assortment of characters and actors.

The picture is not without its occasional cheap thrills, which should prove to be more cost-effective in the form of a video store rental.

Iit is Renny Harlin's hand that compels a sneaking admiration for Mindhunters.

Marred by a bunch of undisciplined idiots we're asked to believe are FBI agents and annoying "CSI"-type extreme closeups, I was hoping they'd all be killed quickly.

Saying super-hack Renny Harlin is no Agatha Christie might be the understatement of the millennium.

A thoroughly silly exercise in cinematic excess that will nonetheless provide a certain breed of trash-movie lover with a few hoots.

A film that betrays itself by not following its story through to a believable and psychological conclusion.

Brandishes some scary plot maneuvers and builds suspenseful momentum, with a masterful mix of psychological stress and perverse imagination.
