Renny Harlin’s 2004 movie has a very fast tempo. It’s like chop, chop, chop, chop, chop. Very entertaining for me personally as it doesn’t leave me enough time to think. But that’s the idea: to make you experience what the characters are experiencing. The characters don’t have enough time to think before they’re hunted and killed, either. I’m satisfied with this movie and also the ending. I’ll give this movie a 7.5 stars out of 10.

P.S. Sorry if I can’t drop Entrecard too much these days as we’re moving to a new place and we’ve been exhausted!!! Btw, don’t forget to join my Guessing Game!!!

The Story:

In the beginning of the story you’ll learn that there are several FBI agents on training to be the best profilers. Mostly they’re taught to catch serial killers and to read their minds. Jake Harris (Val Kilmer) is their tutor and he’s sending 7 FBI agents on training to a remote island to do a case simulator. They’re given clues and together they try to find out who the killer is.

Problems start as they realize that somebody’s haunting them in the island. When they’re trying to track the many clues, one by one they are killed or they get injured. How? Apparently somebody has set up traps connected to the given clues. As usual, they start to suspect one another as they try to find out who the murderer is. Things are getting more and more tensed as there is a stranger among them in the form of Gabe Jensen (LL Cool J), whom nobody knows nothing about. He just appeared in the island to be involved in this case simulator. Once they try to get out of the island, but the killer has thought that out, so the boat is destroyed by a bomb. 

So who is the killer? Will they be ALL killed by the killer? The killer is actually a master profiler, since that person is able to set the traps after profiling all the victims’ personalities and characteristics. What’s the killer’s motive? You’ll find out at the end of the movie.
