Suspect Zero2004

With its spooky atmosphere to spare and a riveting central performance by Kingsley, an actor who manages to elicit both terror and sympathy, I was able to forget all those things, basking in the pleasure of my own goose bumps. So, for an hour and a half, will you.

Suspect Zero is another psychological thriller in a sea of the same in the genre, a mix of cool concept with some corky 2000's acting and storyline, nothing expectacular but far from bad. With an interesting mix of supernatural, the plotline is serious enough to keep you hooked yet holed like a swiss cheese. As one would expect, the cheer amount of complexities and complications culminates into a chance factor that sets a simplistic ending in motion, one that sort of lacks justice for the intricate woven plot this story developed. Though alright as a piece of film history, Suspect Zero won't make any top tens, maybe featuring in lists of films that resemble Se7en just a little bit.

The trouble is that the plot is so elliptical to be almost unfollowable (though it helps to have seen the trailer).
