(2004) Suspect Zero.

THRILLER/ HORROR.

Unknown occupant gets killed at the beginning and appears to have no motivation, FBI agent Thomas Mackelway(Aaron Eckhart) is assigned to that case along of a string of other killings happening throughout the United States and perhaps Mexico because they all have a link with each other and that is they all have their eyelids cut open and a zero sign with a cross carved across their chests, exactly like the poster. And as the film progressed, and as it turns out, the people who were killed are really serial killers themselves meaning that someone is on an obsessive tirade to rid of all serial killers by finding out who they're before the police or the FBI does. And it's being done by an ex- FBI agent (Ben Kingsly)who discovered a Russian formula that could find anyone without being caught called "Project Icarus" and he uses it in an obsessive manner.

This 'pass' is the result of it's 'idea' than for anything since it lacks any kind of suspense and is quite shallow, delving into familiar territory which is one of many films started by a stream of serial killer films from "Se7en" to "Silence Of The Lambs" and it's sequels then "The Cell" etc...It has potential to be better.

2.5 out of 4.
