	Reviews: Mindhunters - Christianity Today Movies
		Mindhunters is not a particularly good film, but it's the sort of movie that you might enjoy watching in a dorm with your college buddies.
		Mindhunters was actually filmed before all that, and it is easily the better film, but for some reason it was withheld from theatres in its home country, while it spent the past year and then some touring various European, Asian and Middle Eastern territories.
		Mindhunters follows FBI trainees performing exercises on an island, and what happens to them when they discover one of their colleagues is a serial killer.

	"Mindhunters" (2005) / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		"Mindhunters" was one of those movies that tries to ratchet up the suspense by keeping the identity of the killer in doubt so that the audience never knows who is in danger.
		"Mindhunters" is what you would get if the Enterprise happened onto the lost island of sadistic serial killers and everyone in the landing party was wearing a red shirt.
		"Mindhunter" was the title of the first autobiographical book by John Douglas, in which he details how he merged his education in psychology with his career as an F.B.I. field agent and basically created the practice of psychologically profiling serial killers.

	Movie Review - Mindhunters - eFilmCritic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		As the end credits to the long-on-the-shelf “Mindhunters” rolled, I began talking with a colleague of mine and claimed, with my usual sense of restraint, that it was perhaps the single dumbest and most implausible thriller that I had ever seen in my life.
		Like “Identity,” “Mindhunters” is an uneasy mash-up between a serial-killer mystery, in which people desperately try to piece together a series of seemingly unrelated clues to discover the identity of a madman before he strikes again, and a mad-slasher epic, in which characters pop up only to be killed off in gruesomely elaborate ways.
		This time around, the victims and the investigators are one and the same—a group of FBI profiler trainees sent to an isolated island training facility for a weekend exercise in which they will attempt to identify and track down a “serial killer” in a set-up devised by their unorthodox teacher (Val Kilmer).

	Mindhunters (2005): Reviews
		Trashy and indefensible in most respects, Mindhunters may be a good-bad movie, but entertainment is entertainment, however it comes.
		Mindhunters is as effective as a movie can be and yet still be 100 percent forgettable.
		Mindhunters would have insulted their intelligence, and it should insult yours.

	IGN: The Stax Report: Script Review of Mindhunters
		A number of scribes have labored on Mindhunters throughout its period in development, including Wayne Kramer, Cary Bickley (The Gun in Betty Lou’s Handbag), Yuri Zeltzer (High Crimes), and Kevin Brodbin (Constantine).
		According to Coming Attractions, Ehren Kruger (Arlington Road, Scream 3) is the latest scribe to have tackled Mindhunters, writing a January 2002 revision of Salem's draft.
		The plot of Mindhunters is in the vein of The Most Dangerous Game, Ten Little Indians, and even John Carpenter’s The Thing.

		In "Mindhunters," a thriller directed by Renny Harlin, the suspects and/or victims are assembled on an isolated island that has been rigged up by the FBI as a training facility.
		To the Agatha Christie formula, "Mindhunters" adds another literary inspiration: George Orwell's "The Decline of the English Murder," a brilliant essay in which he celebrated the golden age of British poisoning and other ingenious methods of disposal.
		Not in "Mindhunters." The people who arrive on the island are there for an exercise in the profiling of a mass killer.

	Mindhunters (2005): Reviews
		One of Mindhunters' strengths is that it's difficult to guess who the culprit is because Harlin and his screenwriters don't play fair with the audience.
		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.
		The score sucks and the acting is weak, but there are times when certain moviegoers just feel the need to stare far-fetched, blood-drenched death in the eye and laugh.

		The thriller Mindhunters takes a different approach conceptually (a take on “Ten Little Indians”) - a group of seven A-type personality (for the most part) psychological profilers-in-training stuck in the same peril their studied victims have experienced.
		The group is part of the Investigative Support Unit to be exact, a unit of the FBI’s Quantico training complex dealing with identifying the forensic psychology of serial killers to better track, understand, and ultimately capture them.
		A world where the killer is not only supposed to be one of the good guys, but also is closely tied to his victims in a startling manner.

	Mindhunters Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		When the latest group arrives, something goes horribly wrong, as the agents discover that one of them is a crazed serial killer.
		It could well decelerate after watching Mindhunters a movie that, to be fair to Harlin (a director whose luck always seems on the far side of seven) is one of those Miramax toss-outs.
		A picture that sat shelved for two years until Miramax/Dimension needed to unload, it's been unleashed to a public intent on seeing Monster-in-Law for the return of Jane Fonda and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith for the return of Darth Vader.

	Mindhunters (2004): Val Kilmer, Jonny Lee Miller, Kathryn Morris, LL Cool J - PopMatters Film Review
		It becomes a particular problem when she and her fellow FBI profiler trainees are left on an island for a weekend, some kind of final exam devised by their notoriously perverse instructor, Harris (Val Kilmer).

	Moviehole.net - Mindhunters
		With most serial killer films, especially those with a name or two on the film’s poster, it’s usually pretty easy to predict who’s going to be the killer, who’s going to be the hero, and what essentially is going to go down for every minute of the film’s duration.
		How refreshing it is then to discover that Renny Harlin’s “Mindhunters” robs, shreds and rids of ‘The dummies guide to making a serial killer movie” booklet and instead heads back into the annals for something genuinely original, surprising and wholly exciting.
		To say much about it’s storyline, or delve too much into the plot would be robbing potential audiences of the good time surprises it encompasses, so lets it rest that it’s guaranteed you’ll have a good time — as long as you keep the twists twisted and the surprises surprising.

	USATODAY.com - 'Mindhunters': Just watching is murder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The new movie is the long-delayed Mindhunters, which begins with the premise that anyone would let a squirrelly Val Kilmer into the bureau.
		Mindhunters is the latest of more than a half-dozen riffs on Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians.
		The first murder is triggered by a Rube Goldberg-type contraption that would take most of an afternoon to assemble — and like the others, it was set up by the killer when no one was looking.

	Mindhunters DVD - RopeofSilicon.com
		Sent to a remote island, a group of seven "mindhunters" are thrust into a training situation that becomes all-to-real.
		Given the order to solve a series of fictional murders the task becomes personal as members of their squad begin turning up dead in what seems to be an elaborate group of traps designed specifically for each situation.
		Overall, Mindhunters is far better than its $4 million box-office take would suggest, but before you shell out too much money for it, pick it up as a rental and make sure you will watch it more than once.

		Mindhunters isn't a film about building the better mantrap - it is the better mantrap.

	Mindhunters Listing at Box Office Prophets
		The mindhunters of the title are an elite group FBI psychological profiler trainees who are isolated on an island to solve a mock crime as part of their training.
		The only problem is that one of the trainees is actually a serial killer, and now he or she has been trained in the FBI’s most advanced crime solving techniques.
		Kilmer and Slater are also quite a bit removed from their biggest box office successes as well, which also leaves the film without a proven box office draw and forces the film to rely on its merits alone.

	Review: Mindhunters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The mystery/thriller, directed by Renny Harlin and scripted by Wayne Kramer and Kevin Brodbin adds a few unconventional twists to the tired "tracking down a serial killer" plot, but ends up outfoxing itself with a few too many narrative convolutions and contrivances.
		Mindhunters starts out strong - despite some clunky acting, the first hour is nicely paced and the time passes effortlessly.
		There are two essential principles of motion picture mysteries: (1) the film must excel at misdirection, and (2) the film must know when to stop the misdirection and reveal the "truth." Mindhunters has a good grasp of precept #1, but doesn't have a clue about #2.

	Mindhunters (2005): Val Kilmer, Jonny Lee Miller, Kathryn Morris, LL Cool J - PopMatters Film Review
		And so, in Mindhunters, the relationship between realness and not is especially fraught.
		On one level, this is the project of a formula film like Mindhunters, to offer up stereotypes or clichéd plot points and tweak them ever so slightly so you pretend for milliseconds at a time that you're surprised by anything that happens.
		But on another level, the film is part of another project altogether, the LL star-making project.

		Creepy, tense, and enigmatic, Renny Harlin's Mindhunters is a grisly cross between Agatha Christie's whodunit classic And Then There Were None and Jonathan Demme's horrifying The Silence of the Lambs.
		Mindhunters is better though, because it's nonstop action and suspense in a world where it's only you and the killer.
		Mindhunters is a decent enough movie, it's purely a popcorn flick.

		The writing is so awful on this movie that the best lines are, “Now we know his weakness: bullets.” Someone says after shooting another person.

	HORRORWATCH :: Mindhunters - humans - Horror Movie Reviews
		I’d seen the trailer/previews for Mindhunters on several different DVD’s that I’d rented with the Mistress Flames over the past few months, and we were both intrigued, it looked like our kind of movie.
		The ending came and I was blown away, it’s a murder/mystery kind of flick so it doesn’t end on a twist, but the reveal I never saw coming, the killer even takes us back in the film to illustrate to us when we should have had it, but I never took the bait.
		I was surprised at the amount of gore in Mindhunters, granted it’s not over the top but I’ve seen lots of straight up horror flicks with less gore in it than this, so I was happy to say the least.

		MINDHUNTERS has a very interesting premise, but its execution is severely flawed in the fact that Harlin is not the thinking man’s director.

		Mindhunters is a film that relies on plot contrivances so heavily that it becomes a sort of game within the film to guess how or when a character will die based largely on how many times they repeat their central weakness.
		Image Transfer Review: The 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer for Mindhunters is better than the film deserves with a very filmlike look.
		Ambient sounds and directional effects are crisp in the split channels while the.1 LFE track offers solid and tension building bass.
