- 70The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenDirector Renny Harlin's take on Agatha Christie's versatile "Ten Little Indians" is total B-movie swagger in all its unsubtle glory.
- 70The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasTrashy and indefensible in most respects, Mindhunters may be a good-bad movie, but entertainment is entertainment, however it comes.
- 58Entertainment WeeklyScott BrownEntertainment WeeklyScott BrownWhat does satisfy is the pleasantly becalming presence of "Deep" costar LL Cool J. He's fast becoming Liv Ullmann to Harlin's Bergman.
- 50Film ThreatDavid GroveFilm ThreatDavid GroveHere's a film that exhibits all kinds of joy in uncoiling a story with no ending, or an ending that's so arbitrary you get the feeling that the filmmakers just threw names in a hat to see who their killer would be.
- 50ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliOne of Mindhunters' strengths is that it's difficult to guess who the culprit is because Harlin and his screenwriters don't play fair with the audience.
- 50Dallas ObserverLuke Y. ThompsonDallas ObserverLuke Y. ThompsonThe score sucks and the acting is weak, but there are times when certain moviegoers just feel the need to stare far-fetched, blood-drenched death in the eye and laugh. It's here, so have at it.
- 40VarietyRobert KoehlerVarietyRobert KoehlerRidiculous would-be thriller.
- 40L.A. WeeklyL.A. WeeklyA tiring exercise in time-biding sadism (versus wit or suspense), inflated with shock editing, noisy effects and an angry score, like a thriller with road rage.
- 12Chicago TribuneAllison BenediktChicago TribuneAllison BenediktMark my words: Mindhunters will do for psycho-thrillers what "Showgirls" did for stripper movies.
- 10Village VoiceVillage VoiceIn an era of wall-to-wall "CSI," Mindhunters' ghoulish forensic hubbub not only feels tiring but hopelessly redundant.
