I did not think this movie was something above average, but I guess that thinking it well it is not that awful, it is kind of entertaining, and to be honest I was not bored, though it is certainly a kind of movie that tries to copy out of Se7en. It was still kind of enjoyable.

Suspect Zero: It tries to be a kind of Se7en, but fails misserably. The story is that of Thomas Mackelway (Aaron Eckhart) as an FBI agent who gets demoted after going after a suspect on his own outside of legal boundaries. But the past seems to follow him around when a serialkiller (Kingsley) seems to contact him. The killer is a former FBI paranormal agent able to hunt serialkillers through dreams and goes off on his own to kill them.

The movie tries to give it a kind of cruel vibe, but fails with drawings of which some are too hard to identify their meaning. Although it's a promising cast, they don't get much to work on. The story is left full of holes and seems to look for easy ways to finish the movie. The methods of Kingsley of getting into 'paranormal mode' are rather laughable and don't really have the effect they're supposed to have. When the end comes, it isn't a surprise and really calls back memories of better movies...I should have watched them instead of wasting time on this one.
