August 17, 2011Teeheehee! This kind of reminds me of a parallel version of Saw, which paradoxically takes itself more seriously but has a greater sense of fun. A bunch of impossibly smart, conveniently wounded and hubristically arrogant characters are stranded on an island and pitted against a ... read more

A great "Twistie Flick" that lives up to it's title, I was actually loosing my mind during my experience. Funny, I have a collection of DVDs I haven't seen and yet I choose to watch TV... What is that?
Anyway, this movie was able to extr... read more -

November 20, 2008This is a very good little know film. It's a mix of cat and mouse thriller with the FBI trying to track a killer at one of their training facilities. It starts as a thriller and soon becomes a horror as puzzles are put in the teams way similar to the traps in the Saw films. Along... read more

November 2, 2007Although this is a little corny in parts, it's definitely my type of movie. Criminal profilers in a situation of survival.
I'm not quite sure if Johnny Lee Miller's accent was entirely convincing to anyone else, it seemed really over the top to me, but maybe that's because I ... read more -
April 3, 2007The classical Whodunnit-theme in times of CSI thrillers. The movies tries a little hard to be cool and some of the dialogues are rather cheesy in their first semester psychology blabla. But the victim list is pretty surprising, the plot rather unforseeable and the showdown is qui... read more

November 27, 2006It's an exciting and explosive physiological thriller with solid action-packed intensity. It's a mind-blowing, bone-chilling and pulse-racing thrill-ride. Brilliant and breathtaking suspense. You'll be thrilled and chilled to the end of this explosive flick. You wont belive what ... read more

December 9, 2010The idea is the same as Agatha Christie's "Ten little Indians" but the whole story is conceived in such an unlikely way that most of the flick looks ridiculous.

October 31, 2011Though it does boarder as an effective B thriller, it's ultimately far too asinine to work. The plot and overall setup is so ridiculous that it distracts from the atmosphere and sense of tension the film sets out to create. Even LL Cool J's one liners aren't enough to overcome th... read more

Evidently, these young FBI geniuses were just on a collective undercover assignment to infiltrate the Melrose Avenue club scene, because their disguise consists of half-grown (or half-ungrown) beards,... Full Review

As effective as a movie can be and yet still be 100 percent forgettable. Full Review

It didn't take much mental power to come up with the plot. Full Review

The illogic of the situation is so extreme that the final confrontation plays like an afterthought. Full Review

[Miller's accent] isn't Sir Michael Caine in Hurry Sundown bad -- still the worst Southern accent ever attempted by a future Oscar winner and knight. But it's awful enough to call attention to itself ... Full Review

In a way, the movie title refers not only to the characters, but also the audience. Enduring this harrowingly derivative tale, viewers will wonder where the filmmakers' minds were. Full Review

You'd think these agents' training would kick in, that they'd analyze the situation, deduce who is behind the killings and put a plan in place to stop it. You'd be wrong. They panic like ants after th... Full Review

There is something inherently mindless and preposterously silly about the whole exercise. Full Review

No one with any kind of mind should waste it on this film.
