In this inventive, stylish and gripping thriller, tough detective Holly Hunter teams up with agoraphobic criminal psychologist Sigourney Weaver to hunt down a serial killer who duplicates the crimes of his most notorious predecessors. Thanks to the unbearable suspense created by director Jon Amiel's imaginative direction — the bathroom-set climax is a crackerjack shocker — the super-smart script and the confident performances of the two stellar leads, this mimic murder mystery is one of the best crafted chillers in the Se7en tradition.

"...An upscale suspense by virtue of its classy cast, its extremely bright characters and the chillingly intellectual approach..."

ok
This film was ok, i had seen it before but forgot wen i rented it. Its very slow, from the middle of the film you can tell who does it all and what will happen, its ok for a saturday wet afternoon, but if your looking for suspence and gorr and action this isnt the film. it still enjoyable in places, and weaver plays a good part as usual.
