"The spirit of Agatha Christie hovers over 'Mindhunters,' a suspenseful mystery with plenty of suspects to keep viewers guessing about the identity of a serial killer."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews

2.5/5
"the more I think about the logic of Mindhunters, the less I like it"

"
Mindhunters
pulses with style and confidence, even when it doesn’t have a clue how to figure itself out."

"LL Cool J is a puzzle the film cannot solve. "
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
1.5/4
"There is no necessary tension, no memorable characters, and no sense of fun. Instead, Renny Harlin just lines up his cast and knocks off their boring asses one at a time. "

"The hoariest picture of the year."

"As far as preposterous, imbecilic thrillers go, it's a fun one."

1.5/4
"The good news is that Paul Schrader’s Exorcist prequel is finally going to hit theaters. The bad news is that Mindhunters is going to beat it by a week."

C-
"It is not that the film is goofy; I would have loved to see goofy. Instead, it is simply stupid, hopelessly dense and never for a second self-aware."

"Mindless...a tedious, pedestrian gorefest with neither the slightest degree of inventiveness or wit, nor the remotest sliver of sense."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/4
"It's not hard to see why this movie lingered on Dimension's shelves for long."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3/4
"More so than any other action director, Harlin is able to take mediocre and often outlandishly stupid scripts and punch them up into endlessly watchable guilty-pleasure gold."
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
'2.5/4'
"Unintentionally hilarious on the one hand and scarier than it should be on the other."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
"Judging by the end product, my guess is after the second or third go-round, he threw up his hands and tossed the footage into a Cuisinart."

7/10
"...enjoy the film for what it is, which is a dark, blazin’, thrilling, stylish kill-ride that doesn’t mind winking at a few other films, as well as..."

"...for all its pseudo logic,
Mindhunters
is just as implausible as any
Halloween
sequel."

Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel
1.5/4.0
"... promises a sophisticated “C.S.I.” meets
Saw thriller
, then shatters that illusion with four words: directed by Renny Harlin."

Kevin A. Ranson
3/5
"At least it’s better than Harlin’s last film, that dreadful
Exorcist
prequel."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
1.5/5
"Harlin's brisk pacing leaves little time for reflection, but the whole house of blood-spattered cards dissolves upon even cursory reflection."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
2.5/4
"A cool, scrappy B movie with no pretentions"
Movie Habit

B-
"The intriguing set-up, some sharp performances, and director Renny Harlin's capable staging of action and suspense make this a passable thriller, if not a memorable one."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
1.5/4
"Saying super-hack Renny Harlin is no Agatha Christie might be the understatement of the millennium."
Slant Magazine

"One-time action wunderkind Renny Harlin proves once again that coherence is not his forte."

"In true serial-killer-stalks-victims fashion, the first hour is tense and the last hour is terrible."
