Suspect Zero follows disgraced FBI Agent Thomas Mackleway, who was transferred to the most desolate area in Oklahoma as punishment for botching a procedure which ultimately led to the release of one of the most notorious criminals on the FBI's list. Mackleway is given an opportunity to redeem himself, however, when he is called in to investigate the strange murder of a traveling salesman. Mysteriously, the mark of a circle with a line through it is the only clue that the killer left behind. Before long, the prime suspect is identified as former agent Benjamin O'Ryan, who is seemingly obsessed with hunting down serial killers and murdering them rather than turning them in to the proper authorities. Though Mackleway believes he knows the area where O'Ryan is living, he has no idea what he looks like - a problem that the rogue agent exploits with great success. Despite his brilliance, Mackleway finds himself caught in a psychological labyrinth of sorts, and is faced with an even greater quandary after learning that O'Ryan is looking for none other than Suspect Zero, a murderer of hundreds and the FBI's most wanted man.
This was a strange and twisted movie that kept my attention until the end. The problem is that the end wasn't good, which hurt the rating. Overall though, I was sucked into the intense hunt for a serial killer of serial killers. The technique used to track down the killers is unorthodox to say the least, but actually a real technique that has been used by the government in the past - Remote Viewing. The action starts very quickly and continues throughout - I never felt bored. Ben Kingsley played a great creepy guy and really added to the intensity of the film. I would recommend watching this if you don't mind a little gore, but don't expect a great ending.
Rating: 2.5 of 5 stars
