Mindhunters
The FBI can only be as good as the people that work for it. To that end, constant training is needed constantly. One such training facility is on a remote island, which is the setting for the dilemma of 7 agents, who face a deadly situation. Each one is the target and only one knows who the mastermind is since one of them is the mastermind. So as each go down one by one, it's up to the agents to learn as quick as they can before they die. A semi-famous cast star in the film headed up by Val Kilmer, LL Cool J, Christian Slater, and Cold Case's Kathryn Morris.

Having watched this last year, I've got a vague memory of the film. But I can tell you this, it's not much of a movie, since it's pretty obvious who the killer is. Once you know who it is, it just gets to be a matter of how these people die and it seems director Renny Harlin, who's capable of much better, tried to make each killing more weird and shocking each time. I still think the best one was the freezing of the legs and watching them shatter, but hey's that's just me. With the big recap at the end showing step-by-step how the killer did it, you might just wanna see the last 15 minutes. Of course, you wouldn't see the ridiculous killings, but hey, will you even watch it? 1 star
