Mindhunters (2004)

Everything Actioncast

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris enter the mind of a killer and discuss Mindhunters, which came out in the US 20 years ago this week (after being released in almost every other country around the world in 2004).

Directed by Renny Harlin, Mindhunters follows a group of FBI agents training to be profilers under the unorthodox methods of Jake Harris (Val Kilmer), who places his trainees in elaborate simulations. As a final test, the group is left on a remote island off the coast of North Carolina to uncover the simulated crime scenes of "The Puppeteer." Instead, they find themselves up against a real killer, who begins taking the team out one by one via elaborate traps. Zach and Chris discuss who is bringing all the cats onto this remote military island, LL Cool J's over-the-top red herring, Christian Slater getting Sub-Zeroed by liquid nitrogen, the hilariously dumb underwater shootout, and more.

You can rent or buy Mindhunters on Prime Video, Fandango at Home, Apple, and more. Next week, our mission, if we choose to accept it, is to watch Mission: Impossible 2, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary along with the release of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning in theaters.
