		Another good thing about the movie is the way Elias, the director, cut the film - his use of film stock, his use of music, and the disturbing images in the film.
		Mackelway gets called in to investigate a strange murder, but when the trail leads him to the suspect (Ben Kingsley), he realizes that he has been drawn into a psychological labyrinth that turns what is expected upside down.
		The film is fascinating, magnetic, really really cool.

	Suspect Zero Listing at Box Office Prophets
		If Suspect Zero concentrates more on these aspects of its story rather than the mundane how’s-he-gonna-catch-the-bad-guy elements, the film could be a thought-provoking, mature offering during its time in the theatres.
		The introduction of remote viewing into the Suspect Zero scenario, along with the rather unique basis for the avenging former agent’s crusade, provides an interesting twist to what is otherwise a pretty standard police procedural/crime drama film.
		It will be fascinating to see just how remote viewing is utilized in the film, and exactly how the retired FBI man goes about tracking his Suspect Zero.

	Suspect Zero - Movie Review - HorrorExpress.com
		SUSPECT ZERO is just as generic and predictable as every other serial killer film you've seen in the last ten years.
		SUSPECT ZERO will mercifully die a quick death at the box office and no, this is one film that probably won't find an audience on DVD.
		O'Ryan has a theory about a serial killer he calls Suspect Zero, someone who has evaded capture precisely because he has not established any kind of pattern or left any clues to his whereabouts.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Suspect Zero
		But because Zero director E. Elias Merhige commits himself to the Seven formula, Sir Ben’s screen time is restricted to glorified cameos in the film’s first half, leading up to a meatier role by the film’s conclusion (think Kevin Spacey in Fincher’s masterpiece without the shock value that part carried).
		I suspect that zero is moderately close to the number of viewers who will be impressed with Suspect Zero.
		Merhige experiments with grainy visuals and scarlet filters, but there’s no reason for the gimmicks when he employs them, and they ultimately point out how vanilla the film would be if he had left well enough alone.

		The introduction of remote viewing into the Suspect Zero scenario, along with the rather unique basis for the avenging former agent’s crusade, provides an interesting twist to what is otherwise a pretty standard police procedural/crime drama film.
		Suspect Zero takes that concept and applies it to serial killers, as it tells the tale of an FBI agent tracking the murderer of a number of famous mass murderers.

	Suspect Zero Review by Jeremy C. Fox
		Merhige’s new film, Suspect Zero, is full of sinister atmosphere and effective imagery from veteran cinematographer Michael Chapman, but it too would benefit from an absence of dialogue.
		As Mackalway’s new boss, he abandons the sly, scheming style he used in B2 and delivers his lines in the voice of Urkel, from ABC’s late, unlamented “Family Matters.” Perhaps the glasses he wears in the film are cursed.
		The first time an image is shot upside down, when feet enter a room as though by the ceiling, it heightens the scene’s eeriness.

	Basic Instinct (1992)
		They charged that the main murderess suspect in the film was a denegrating portrayal since she was a mentally-unstable, psychotic lesbian and bi-sexual.
		The film was also criticized for its confrontational scene between the detective and the main suspect's leather-clad lesbian lover.
		In particular, she gained notoriety for the film's interrogation scene in which she uncrossed and re-crossed her legs while wearing a short white mini-dress (without panties).

	The Flick Filosopher Suspect Zero
		The film fails miserably in this attempt, not for the least which reason is that its most intriguing idea -- "suspect zero" -- is an afterthought, and Merhige seems to realize it, focusing instead on his crimefighter (Eckhart, in bursts of reckless energy, is excellent).
		But Suspect Zero is by far the most fascinating failure of the year so far.
		That's not to suggest that this isn't rather an awful film.

	SUSPECT ZERO - WIDESCREEN DVD
		A metaphysical serial killer film, E. Elias Merhige's Suspect Zero is implications and shadows married to exploitation and shock: a queasy stew dredging the well of archetype that disturbs with the blasted nihilism of its vision.
		Suspect Zero is a marvellously complicated but decidedly sure-footed stroll through basic Jungian tenets.
		The suggestion at the end of this journey isn't smug, nor is it easy; rather, the film proposes that we're all the sum of all of human experience, making each of us capable of atrocity--and responsible for it, too.

		There has been talk of an American film version of Prime Suspect but it seems unlikely that the film will ever be made.
		Prime Suspect has won at least 14 international awards - including BAFTA 's for Best Drama Serial and Best TV Actress (Helen Mirren).
		Prime Suspect 6, The Last Witness aired on Britain's ITV November 9-10, where 9 million viewers saw the opening episode.

		In "Suspect Zero," the fated target is FBI agent Thomas Mackelway (Aaron Eckhart), who got in some kind of trouble in Texas and has been demoted to New Mexico.
		There's a point at which its enigmatic flashes of incomprehensible action grow annoying, and a point at which we realize that there's no use paying close attention, because we won't be able to figure out the film's secrets until they're explained to us.
		Paramount Pictures presents a film directed by E.

	SPLICEDwire "Suspect Zero" movie review (2004) "Suspect Zero" review, E. Elias Merhige, Aaron Eckhart, Ben Kingsley, Carrie-Anne Moss, Harry J. Lennix, Frank Collison, Kevin Chamberlin, Brady Coleman, Buddy Joe Hooker, Nicole DeHuff, Chloe Russell
		With Mirhige's cinematic resourcefulness (to create the shadowy, video-snow imagery of Mackelway's visions he uses old Fisher-Price Pixelvision cameras) "Suspect Zero" is enough of a departure from genre routine to keep thriller-savvy film watchers engaged.
		As Mackelway fervently follows his instincts -- often to the frustration of his predictably disbelieving new boss -- seemingly unrelated plot elements and puzzling evidence congeal into a bigger picture that does, eventually, carve the film a uniquely uncanny genre niche.
		Elias Merhige (best known for the inspired silent-horror homage "Shadow of the Vampire") makes stylistic use of this psychic element to give the movie an unnerving and extra-cryptic edge, drawing out the suspense slowly, like the eerie back-and-forth bowing of a long sharp chord on a cello.

	Circus History Message Board
		Though included in the Edison catalogue I suspect that the film was Pathe originally from France and I suspect that the Julians performed at the Moulin Rouge or Folies Bergere in Paris, France around that time.
		Reply: 16 December, 2005 - I think the gorilla Ted is talking about could be the Toto that "Lady Mackenzie brought back from East Africa, along with the film of her big game-hunting expedtion." Toto lived with her in her apartment in the Hotel Belnord, 86th & Broadway, NYC.
		They may possibly be the Yullians troupe referred to in the index of Adrian's En Piste, Les Acrobates, or the Yuliam's troupe referred to in Strehly's L'Acrobatie et les Acrobates (pub 1903) p143.

	Amazon.com: Video: Rush Week (1991)
		No, this minor suspect disappears half way through the film!
		On the negative, the film piles on so much evidence that the frat president is the killer, you can pretty much guarantee he is not.
		In desperation on the film makers' part, the killer even jumps up to attack again after everyone figures he is dead.

		She was the prop girl for a man who walked a ball up a spiral tower and then did balancing acts at the top.
		It was about the same size as big hippo #85 (built 1944) and #87 (built 1946), a full size cage built originally as a sea lion wagon and put to other uses in subsequent years.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None (1945)
		Indeed, the entire film is amusing in its darkly comic way; even as everyone in the house starts dropping like flies and everyone remaining becoems a suspect, there's always a sense of humor lying just below the surface.
		There are one or two suspects easily dismissed from the start, but by and large, this one takes some thinking to those who haven't already had the story spoiled for them.
		And Then There Were None is a tale certain to have the audience guessing and changing minds at least a few times before settling on a chief suspect, and even then, the tale is woven well enough that the guessing may turn out to be much more difficult than one might have suspected.

	CNS Movie Review: Suspect Zero
		And while Merhige has said he was initially drawn to the project because he wanted to grapple with the question of evil by exploring the dark side of human nature, the film offers little in the way of illumination.
		"Suspect Zero" follows a predictable cat-and-mouse formula as Mackelway's obsession with exorcising his personal demons leads him into the very heart -- and mind -- of darkness, culminating in a, yawn, shocking revelation.
		Though in fairness -- apart from an unnecessarily brutal rape -- Merhige exhibits restraint in filming the lurid crimes and does not make O'Ryan into the kind of postmodern antihero that Jonathan Demme did with Hannibal Lecter.

	Zap2it - TV news - Mirren Back for New 'Prime Suspect'
		For her performances as Tennison, Mirren has been nominated for four Emmys, winning in 1996 for "Prime Suspect 4: Scent of Darkness." The actress also picked up an Emmy for "The Passion of Ayn Rand." Mirren's film work has included "Gosford Park," "The Madness of King George" and "Caligula."
		"Prime Suspect 6" will begin production in London starting next month and will feature tough-as-nails Detective Tennison in a new high-ranking position overseeing all murder investigations only to discover that the politics of her job are at odds with her desire for justice.
		"Prime Suspect 5: Errors of Judgment" aired in 1997 and won the Emmy for outstanding miniseries, a prize also captured by two other editions of "Prime Suspect."

	Manning on Deconstruction and the Visual Arts
		Derrida emphasizes the fact that, since deconstruction begins with the deconstruction of logocentrism, to confine it to linguistic phenomena would be most suspect.
		Oswald argues that her contribution to film theory is an effort to go beyond Brunette and Wills' concept of 'screen/play' (a term that marks a significant departure from a tradition of film theory grounded in the photographic image).
		While _Screen/Play_ is specifically an alternative film theory based on the writings of Jacques Derrida, _Deconstruction and the Visual Arts_ extends itself beyond film theory to theories of art, architecture and the media.

	MovieFreak.com - "Suspicion" DVD Review
		The whole film is geared so that we suspect Johnny to be a killer the whole time, just waiting for the big reveal… and then it never comes.
		Discussed are several of the film’s key scenes and Hitchcock’s troubles with the Hays Code (the precursor to the MPAA), as well as his original intent for the film’s ending.
		Hitchcock spends the film building Lina’s paranoia, as she becomes more and more convinced that her husband is planning her death.

	Stealth - Review Hollywood North Report
		And I suspect that had this film performed better at the box office, a video game incarnation would have followed.
		As the film winds towards its elongated third act, the story takes a few unexpected, yet increasingly preposterous twists, chief among them the pilots’ ability to circumnavigate large tracts of the globe in what seems like minutes, and Capt. Cummings sudden turn towards political maneuvering, deception and ultimately, attempted murder.
		This sequence sets the stage (and the tone) for the film, as Ben Gannon, Kara Wade (Biel), and Henry Purcell (Jamie Foxx), the Navy’s best, brightest and most bodacious pilots, strut their stuff during a training exercise in the Nevada desert.

	Rope Film Review - Time Out Film
		One of Hitchcock's more experimental films, with the tale of two young gays, keen to prove their intellectual and spiritual superiority, killing a friend and hiding his body in a trunk in order to see whether dinner guests will suspect anything.
		On a thematic level, however, the film is more successful: while the arguments about Nietzschean philosophy between the couple and their professor, Stewart (whose ideas have inadvertently prompted the murder), are hardly profound, what is interesting is the way Hitchcock's sly amorality forces us, through the suspense, to side with the killers.

	Newman: Ragtime
		Ragtime is a rare gem of a score, representing a perfect marriage of film and composer, and deserved more than the two Oscar nominations it got Newman (little did he suspect he would receive another sixteen before winning one).
		No film music fan should miss out on this.
		He also gives us the amusing "Change Your Way" (and performs it), designed for the opening titles but ultimately unused in the film.

	ITW Paktron Tech Article 3/98
		Film capacitors that are produced by the conventional "winding" process are highly suspect to film shrinkage at elevated temperature and for this reason surface mounting has been an insurmountable challenge for most film capacitor companies.
		Polymer film dielectric capacitors are sought after for both thru- hole and surface mount applications because of their electrical stability, power- handling capability and proven reliability.
		If the film can be restrained during the heat- setting process, given enough time, the molecular chains will find conformations of lower tension (change of entropy), producing a film with a lower shrinkage potential.

	bfi Sight & Sound Jarhead (2005)
		Cynics might suspect that the film's uncritical approach is motivated less by a desire to be faithful to the personal experience of Swofford and his buddies than by a wish to avoid upsetting the paying public and the Academy voters who have been so generous to Mendes in the past.
		One of the film's finest bits of acting comes from Peter Sarsgaard as Swofford's sniping partner Troy, who finally loses it big time when their first and only chance to take a shot at an Iraqi is thwarted by an officer's plan to take out the target with an air strike instead.
		The film's press notes emphasise the amount of advice taken from military personnel and the use of formerly active military bases for location shooting.

	Rocknerd Downfall
		Still, it's a major film achievement, and I suspect there are hundreds of thousands of students in schools that will be watching this film from now until the Fourth Reich begins as part of their history classes, because this is a quality film that any underpaid teacher would be happy to inflict upon their kids.
		A film that successfully captures and gets across the surreal atmosphere of Berlin towards the end of the war has to be vital viewing for those with the time, patience and inclination.
		And though the flick shows the last days from the points of view of a number of people, Traudl is the one that is supposed to be our entry point into the film.

	The Esperanto Book: Appendix 2
		Since I first encountered Esperanto through the medium of science fiction, it seems reasonable to devote a few words to the relationship between the two -- especially since, I suspect, many readers of this work will also be fans of the literature of the future.
		Later "Star Wars" films included subtitled passages from "alien" languages that turned out to be Mongolian and Kikuyu, at least according to rumor.
		Esperanto was one of only six or seven languages to be represented in both issues of Fredrik Pohl's lamented International Science Fiction: with a rather old-fashioned science fiction story by J. Giesy, and with Clarkson Crane's translation of Jean-Jacques Mahé's "Twinning" (which was not actually science fiction at all).

	TheMovieBoy Review - Suspect Zero (2004)
		Written by Zak Penn (2001's "Behind Enemy Lines"), "Suspect Zero" is notably more quiet and ruminative than the average serial killer thriller, following the journey Thomas Mackelway goes on in his attempt to solve the mystery of the murders and figure out what connection he shares—if any—with the killer.
		"Suspect Zero" ends underwhelmingly, not adding up to as much as one is lead to anticipate, but remains admirable in its smart avoidance of a predictable fight/shoot-out.
		What "Suspect Zero" does have, in spades, is a keen sense of innate foreboding, rattling tension out of moments of meticulously graphed quiescence and isolation.
