Review of Suspect Zero (2004) by Leon B — 28 Feb 2014

Review:

I did find this movie to be quite slow and a bit sketchy, but when it all comes together at the end, it's very well made. It's quite a deep psychological thriller, like Seven, but not as good. It would have been a much better movie if the director would have got on with the nitty gritty of the movie and he should have focused on the kidnapping more than the investigators getting confused. Anyway, the acting was quite believable and well performed by the cast, but the storyline needed some tweaking. Watchable!

Round-Up:

Audiences were obviously not impressed with this film, judging by the money that it made, but you can't fault Ben Kingsley's amazing performance as a psychopath. Aaron Eckhart seemed a bit all over the place and Carrie Ann Moss seemed a bit wasted, but that was due to the writing and not there personal acting skills. The film did remind me a lot of A light hearted Seven, which was why the director had to push it in another direction near the end. Anyway, it's a watchable thriller with many twists and turns.

Budget: $27million.

Worldwide Gross: $11.5million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there psychological thrillers about a serial killer being hunted by the cops. 4/10.
