Detroit Free Press Rated: 2/4 May 21, 2005 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 1/5 May 21, 2005 Full Review Dallas Morning News Rated: D+ May 21, 2005 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast A silly retread of And Then There Were None only with the most inept crew of budding profilers. Morris is bland and Lee Miller's accent is atrocious, but the deaths are solid. Mindhunters isn't a good movie, but it is a fun movie. Rated: 3/5 Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins There's suspense from the guessing game, though the big reveal is underwhelming and unconvincing; too many contrived things take place for any of this to make much sense. Rated: 4/10 Nov 7, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The sloppily made suspense thriller was deservedly ripped by most critics and was a financial flop. Rated: C+ Jun 30, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Gregory T A solid crime thriller with a nostalgic ensemble cast that, despite its flaws of a few nearly impossible scenarios, kept me invested until the very end! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Mark B Good cast. The story had promise but so much bad slow motion, fight scenes are like a stage play. It is ok. The plot twists are not earned Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Cinephemeride [ a good thriller which benefits from a solid direction by Renny Harlin and a rather good scenario. The use of actors is rather interesting and without being very innovative, this film is pleasant Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Unfocused and needlessly drawn out. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/21/23 Full Review Steve D The effects drag it down a bit but it is an interesting tale with a fun cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review robert p I just love to rag on movies I did not like. First of all some of the language used felt out of place Secondly how can the mastermind know just precisely where the traps are and lures the people into the traps, so the package of cigarettes was clearly dropped there for her to smoke (he said he's been watching these people for awhile to figure out their vices!! All in all this was not a very good movie. P.S. I knew for sure who the killer was, but towards the end of the movie, I was afraid it was going to be the black guy, but I was patient as sure enough my guy was the who-dunnit!!
