Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Mindhunters
MINDHUNTERS is a movie directed by Renny Harlin (Deep Blue Sea, Cliffhanger) in 2004.

Six FBI trainees are left on an Atlantic island by their professor Val Kilmer with the mission to profile a killer. But when one of them, Reston, is killed while examining the scene of the crime, the others soon understand that the simulation is over and that someone is after them.

One by one, the trainees are killed by somebody who seems to know their respective weaknesses. After a few hours, only Sara, Gabe and Bobby are still alive and what they know for sure is that the killer can only be one of them.

--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
