    Literally my favourite movie ever. i saw mindhunters on tv and then went and bought it on dvd as well and watched it another couple times. i loved every bit of it every single time i watched it. it was violent, scary,funny, and even smart, everything you could want in a movie. film critics are a bunch of idiots.

    My favorite movie. It's got a great mystery storyline, mixed in with some comedy and good acting. Suspenseful. Funny. Awesome! I recommend this movie to everyone who enjoys good, fun movies, rather than "artsy" (boring/stupid) films

    One of my favourite films, it has really good plot and setting, fast action and of course, a lot of twists. Everything that good thriller should have, but better.

    Bottom-of-the-barrel scraping, cliche-ridden, incoherent garbage on every level. SImply put, this is cinema for the complacent, the inept, and the unintelligent, crafted by human beings of a similar caliber.

    Sure, this movie isn't brilliant, or even fantastic, but I found it to be compelling and enjoyable. There were some things that could have been better, but I was definitely surprised by the first death, and I was intrigued to see how the rest of the mystery unfolded. The concept itself is pretty clever, I think, and I feel it was fairly well-executed. I had a good time with this movie.

    "You know, Renny, I think my character should eat cake in this scene." Maybe Van Kilmer wanted to eat cake and talk in "Spartan" but found David Mamet a little intimidating. I like the cake bit. I also like how Harlin plays auteur by referencing "Deep Blue Sea" with the early departure of its, arguably, biggest star, ala Samuel L. Jackson. "Mindreaders" is pretty moronic: I mean, wouldn't a profiler know to use his/her best poker face in the company of other profilers? But "Mindreaders" seems to be aware of how stupid it is when the one who is done in by acid displays the intelligence of a rat who takes to the piece of cheese. "Mindreaders" is a pretty entertaining exercise in audience contempt. Expand

    Stupid and moronic even if flashy and expensive looking. How can so much money be poared into something so blatently dumb? How many extra dollars would it take to develop a plot with even an atom of credibility.

    Really not sure where all the extreme negative comments are coming from. Thrillers are my favorite genre - I watch a ton of them. And this one had me entertained throughout. Yes, they end up alone on a island, which has been done before. It's a writing device people - one that is allowed to be used more than once in the history of film. I found the writing original and compelling, even if it wasn't always perfect. The production values were good, and the score was well done. Expand

    I think this film is just great.. it's full of surprises. It keeps you in the suspense. This movie will keep you guessing who is the murderer but then it will prove you wrong. so guess again and again... until you are sure who did it. I really like this film

    Here's a film that exhibits all kinds of joy in uncoiling a story with no ending, or an ending that's so arbitrary you get the feeling that the filmmakers just threw names in a hat to see who their killer would be.
  2. Director Renny Harlin's take on Agatha Christie's versatile "Ten Little Indians" is total B-movie swagger in all its unsubtle glory.

    Ridiculous would-be thriller.
