Modern version of an old short story....lots of special ways of killing off each character....in gross/disgusting ways.... Old plot with very few twists...

*SPOILERS* ...because they die in the first eighth of the movie. What makes this so bad is not that they are the most respected actors in the film, it's the fact that they seemed to be the main focus at the start of the movie. The film never seemed to get the slightest character development from any of the other characters, and the editing was horrible. The movie didn't run smoothly. It felt like a TV movie, because it kept jumping from one scene to the other. First of all, they're accusing this guy, then they're accusing this guy, and this guy...your head may go dizzy keeping up with the film. The death scenes are also outrageously hilarious. I felt like I was watching a serious version of Airplane! The film is also very fast paced, and by fast paced, I mean faster than the damn Flash. There is a lot of death scenes in the movie that try to be emotional, but they aren't because we get zero character development to make us pity them. In fact, you kind of wanted the characters that didn't die to die. There was also a pointless scene at the start of the movie that was obviously trying to hook us...then it turned out to just be a police training sequence. So, they decide to go training on a desert island. Don't worry, the film gets worse as it goes along. In fact, the only good thing I can remember about this movie is the quotes in the film, which were quite funny, especially the "eeny meany miny moe who's the next mother to go" quote. But apart from that, this film was utter crap, and I can't believe some people find this underrated. I was expecting a lower score than 6.4/10 for this pile of stink.Don't worry, there's also a lot of cliché helicopter flying scenes, which were popular in the early 2000's. Overall, I guess you can watch it to have a laugh, but if you're looking for a serious, gripping mystery with GOOD plot twists, stay away from this. 1.9/10!

Mindhunters is an And Then There Were None type story about FBI trainees trapped on an island where one of them is a serial killer killing the others off in a series of Rube Goldberg machines so ludicrous they make Final Destination look restrained. Mindhunters is not a film you rent for a good time. It's something you rent for a laugh. In that area, it delivers. Don't get me wrong: this is a pretty terrible film. But it is fun. I Love murder mysteries and that automatically makes this watchable, especially as And Then There Were None is one of my favourite books of all time. It's got a good premise and the odd exciting set-piece, as well as some interesting ideas but mainly it gets by on being fun. Eventually the fun wears off during the disappointing finale. The movie does not make a hint of sense, Renny Harlin's misjudged direction makes the film look extremely artificial and over-stylized and the acting is weak as well. At the end of the day, it's a B movie. Mindhunters is sometimes exciting and tense but sadly fails to ever be genuinely scary or make you truly care about its characters. LL Cool J again proves to be a likable presence however. The main fun of Mindhunters is watching the utterly preposterous murder sequences and wondering how such an idiotic script was ever greenlit. It's quite fun and hardly terrible, although an argument that it's particularly good would be hard to construct or justify.4/10

Mindhunters is a movie I really wanted to like however I anticipated it a bit too much. It has a cast that would be star studded for the 1990's but they still manage to have a powerful screen presence that is worth watching. The story to this film is what I call a "Scooby Doo Who Did It?", and even though a bit ridiculous twist, it somewhat worked. My issue was this movie was that it tried to be smart but it really lacked in the thought provoking department. Also, Mindhunters was constantly trying to be suspenseful but there was a lot of flat scenes and some that didn't make any sense. It's worth a rent because it's a good movie to kick back and enjoy for what it is but don't go in expecting a topnotch thriller.
