Thriller enthusiasts are being captivated by a 'bloody brilliant' movie that has recently climbed the Netflix charts. The streaming giant has released a 'breathtaking' crime-thriller that film buffs are hailing as the 'best FBI thriller ever made.'
Netflix's New Hit: Mindhunters
Despite only arriving on Netflix a few days ago, the crime-thriller and slasher film Mindhunters has already secured a spot in the streamer's top 10 most-watched list. The 2004 movie follows seven elite FBI trainees specializing in psychological profiling, who become stranded on a remote island during a training exercise. There, they discover that a real serial killer is among them and must use their skills to identify the murderer before it's too late.
Star-Studded Cast
As well as the gripping premise, Mindhunters boasts an impressive cast, including an NCIS legend. Taking on the role of Agent Gabe Jensen is NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: Hawaii star LL Cool J. He is joined by Top Gun actor Val Kilmer, Dexter: Original Sin's Christian Slater, Cold Case actress Kathryn Morris, Trainspotting star Jonny Lee Miller, and Band of Brothers' Eion Bailey.
Fan Reactions
Fans haven't been able to stop praising the film, with many likening it to the Final Destination franchise with a crime drama twist. One viewer on IMDb said: 'This movie is an example of a good thriller recipe. It has a graduate suspense, you never know how things will evolve and if you think you do, you are wrong. It combines psychological hints with rising terror and the result is breathtaking.'
Another wrote: 'This script is a tight yarn with no extra ideas and no fat that needed amputation. It tries to deplore the Final Destination spirit within the gimmickless profiler milieu. And it works.' A third added: 'Released in 2004, it has stood the test of time well and is viewed very fresh and well now. I do recommend this FBI mouse-cat-whodunnit-drama as it offers many thrills and holds you at the edge of your seat.'
One fan described it as 'probably the best FBI thriller ever made,' while another commented: 'Mindhunters is in my opinion a fantastic film with all the violence (not violence just for the sake of violence), the suspense and of course the very creative killings (Final Destinations).'
Mindhunters is available to watch on Netflix now.
