Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

When I first seen this on the shelf at my library, I thought it looks
pretty good.
When I seen this I thought this is a damn good movie with a good
story and really good performances.The film is basically your typical serial killer goes on a rampage and
FBI agents must stop him formula, but this film is refreshingly done
with great twists and takes interesting turns along the way.The performances from Anthony Hopkins, Colin Farrell, Jefferey Dean Morgan
and Abbie Cornish were very good, everyone brought their A-game in this.
Jefferey and Abbie play FBI agents and Anthony is a doctor who is physic
who from what I can tell, is a cop, and the FBI uses him from time to time
on really difficult cases. On this case, the killer there after is just like Anthony's
character, a physic ,and has them follow his bazaar riddles and clues, which is
really cool.I know it won't happen but I kinda want to see a sequel to this because the
concept is fresh, this film could be a franchise. Originally this was the sequel
to Seven that started Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt but was changed to
this instead, I think at the time New Line Cinema didn't like it or it never got
of the ground, but I'm glad it was rescued and made as this instead. Besides
Seven is very hard to franchise if you think about it.The action scenes are good and the story is cool it's one of these edge of your
seat kinda flicks, with a great ending that I will not spoil.
I give it a 7/10. A good movie that I can't recommend enough to you. See it.

John Clancy (Anthony Hopkins) is a psychic detective and is the real deal. He is called in from retirement to help with a serial killer that doesn't leave any clues. He is working with his old friend Joe (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and partner (Abbie Cornish). What we soon discover in this who-dun-it is that the killer is also psychic and is better at it than Clancy.This is an odd mystery and the fact is we see glimpses of the killer in the mind of Clancy...and PLOT SPOILER if you haven't figured it out, look at the DVD cover art which is my biggest peeve. However, the who is not as important as to how they get a guy who knows their every move before they make it. Always an interesting film with Anthony Hopkins.Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Luisa Moraes)

According to trivia notes, this was pencilled in as a potential sequel to Se7en. Thankfully that was overruled, but if the same director and script editors had been on hand as with Se7en, then we might have got an excellent film.It's a psychic cop redrafted back into the police to capture a psychic villain. That's it really.Anthony Hopkins leads a cast who are not in the same league as himself, and it clearly shows. Despite that, the script doesn't often help, and the director is clearly out of his depth with this one. So much could have been done.What should be a taut storyline, really isn't. The premise of psychic cops and villain, doesn't ever convince or leave on edge, and there seems to have been soft porn takes added in as it would be the only talking point for some, and kind of devalued the film. It never added to anything.It's not by any means the poorest movie you'll see of late, but it's one that one will best be left for late night satellite film TV stations as a filler. Nothing more. Disappointing.

This is one of those movies that should have gone straight to audio. I waited for something to happen in this movie but I missed all of it as the plot line was so sophisticated. Tthis movie wasted valuable minutes of my life and I was waiting for someone to creep behind me put me out of my misery. This movie succeeded in one regard. It demonstrated why one may be better dead that to watch this.
