Mindhunters

I feel sorry for this movie.

It tested very well and it got shelved for two years.
It is a solid entry into the FBI Profiler/Suspense/Serial-Killer category and it was largely ignored its opening weekend.

From here on out it gets to be Star War's bitch.

Ok, so this isn't a dramatic new telling of this type of story. Yeah, the Profilers being too busy profiling each other to actually stop and assess the situation gets pretty old. But hey, the deaths are cool. The setup is well throughtout. Yes, it has a twist for twist's sake, but it is just following convention.

Are we really so cruel, as a movie-going populace, that we hate all over movies that are simply trying to entertain?

If you like serial-killer / FBI profiler movies than this one is right up your alley.
