If you're into serial-killer thrillers, you'll want to see Suspect Zero if only to soak up the genre's reliable penchant for creepy atmosphere and creepier behavior. Dark, anguished, and saturated with superficial style, it's a passable exercise in mystery from E. Elias Merhige, who fared better (both critically and artistically) with his acclaimed 2001 film Shadow of the Vampire. The directorial vision evident in that film is also apparent here, but it's pretentiously over-indulged in a grisly plot about the tormented victim of a secret, psychically abusive crime-fighting program (Ben Kingsley) whose pursuit of serial killers in New Mexico is designed to lure a similarly tormented FBI agent (Aaron Eckhart) and his understanding partner (Carrie-Anne Moss) into an investigation that grows increasingly violent and tragically intense. Like Eckhart's character, you may need a handful of aspirin after subjecting yourself to Merhige's visual excess, but as yet another variant of Seven, Suspect Zero scores points for attempting something different. --Jeff Shannon

 Super-Predator... January 14, 2010
Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein (under the rubble)
Okay, I'm a sucker for serial-killer movies. I'm especially drawn to those of the SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, SE7EN, SAW variety. My favorite TV show? Why, DEXTER of course! So, when I heard about a movie about a murderer w/ psychic abilities who preys on serial killers, I began drooling immediately! SUSPECT ZERO is an intriguing story w/ some nice twists, shocks, and jaw-yankers. Ben Kingsley (SPECIES, HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG) is very convincing as O'Ryan, the man driven to hunt down the demons in his head. Aaron Eckhart (THE DARK KNIGHT) plays Tom Mackelway, the FBI agent who must find O'Ryan and discover his secrets. If you enjoy dark thrillers w/ a definite paranormal angle, then SZ should make your night! My only complaint is that Carrie-Anne Moss (MATRIX 1-3, MEMENTO, FIDO) had so little to do in her role as Mackelway's partner. Oh well, a small gripe for an otherwise stellar production...

ONE more movie with the woman acting as if she has something to do with being a man. Plot was weak and implausible. There are no "remote viewers".

The agent Thomas Mackelway (Aaron Eckart) who works in Dallas, is called from Albuquerque in order to investigate a set of mysterious murders which seem to be related with an enigmatic Benjamin O' Ryan (Ben Kingsley) who was trained by a special unity of F.B.I. in a secret government program that enables them to telepathically get into the minds of killers. So, the initial clues seem to point him as the main suspect.
From his personal operation center, he has designed this agent to follow the traces about what it really happens. Weird visions will take place in Mackelway's mind to find out the true nature of these murders.
Prisoner and victim of this experiment, O' Ryan will experience in live flesh, the sequels of such uninterrupted state of psychical tension that will lead this script an unexpected twist of fate.
Don't miss this interesting and tense thriller.
Stylish Serial-Killer Movie May 2, 2009
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
I very much enjoyed the stylish way this serial-killer movie was presented. It also gets high points for keeping ones interest all the way.
Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley are very good. Kinslgey, unfortunately, doesn't appear until over halfway through but made up for his lack of screen time with an intense performance. He's good at that sort of thing (see "Sexy Beast" for another recent example.)
The story, claimed to be a true one out of U.S. military files, is still a bit "suspect" to me. Maybe I am bit skeptical about these ESP-type stories which the film world loves to promote. Nonetheless, this is a very interesting film, nicely shot and an underrated one since it never got much publicity.
If you like crime movies, this is one to check out.
Chilling April 24, 2009

I saw parts of this movies several years ago, remembered it off and on, finally decided to buy.. I really like this movie. Ben Kingsley's character is bizarre and scary, the plot wriggles around enough to create both surprises and confusion as the story unfolds, the weather beaten farm with the seemingly endless mounds of dirt was oddly haunting to me. I think thoughts of that scene were still with me as the movie ended, the final resolution seemed a little anticlimatic but maybe that's just me.
