Another serial-killer-hunting movie, starring Aaron Eckhardt as a disgraced FBI agent reassigned to the Albuquerque, New Mexico, field office. On his first day, he’s dragged out to check out a murder scene on the state line. That murder is related to a series of missing persons posters he has just been faxed, and leads to the discovery of another body at a diner where the victim last ate.

As the case develops, we learn more—our antagonist is Ben Kingsley as a possibly insane individual who claims to have been an FBI agent, one trained in remote seeing, a method of psychically envisioning distant scenes; in this case, used to track down serial killers. There is, he, tells Eckhardt’s character (and us) a huge number of murders, with victims from all over the entire United States, all linked to a Suspect Zero who, despite seeing his crimes, Kingley’s character has been unable to track down on his own.

Eckhardt is joined by his former partner, played by Carrie Ann Moss, who escaped his fate but apparently was still unpopular enough to have been sent to help him. He does the usual investigator-tortured-by-killer, doing-it-all-by-himself, stop-expecting-me-to-follow-procedure deal, while she tries to help him out where she can and talk him into being sensible. She fails, of course, but comes through in the end.

Is this film great? No. But it’s okay, if you like serial-killer-hunting films. It looks pretty good, with lots of strange camera angles and skippy visuals. It also sounds pretty good, with a soundtrack by the same guy who did the soundtrack for Pi and Requium for a Dream. But the whole psychic-serial-killer-investigator thing is getting kind of old (I imagine that it really pisses off the real FBI agents who, presumably, aren’t psychic, and have to solve cases the hard way). The acting isn’t great, and, frankly, I really didn’t care about any of the characters, not even Ben Kingley’s tortured psychic killer.
