Beeper (2002)
Very mediocre and disappointing
Beeper is simply put, a mediocre movie. It places our SWM hero in a strange and exotic society and from there it tries to develop a thriller, but failing on multiple levels. No exciting pictures of Indian society, no logic in many of the actions, police work is horrible, sets are awful - you get to see some footage of a Boeing 747 the main characters are supposed to fly, but inside it looks like in the 50's.
And what the heck is Keitel doing in this movie? Did he owe Jack Sholder a favor? Was desperate for some money? Got a free trip to India? Anyway, even he can't save this one. Oh yes, and look for the car chase...in The Hidden, Sholder got to play with Ferraris, here he works his car chase-skills on some antiqued cabs. Cheap, but entertaining. Still, go find The Hidden, it's much much better.
Mindhunters (2004)
Incredibly stupid way of wasting your time
I can't believe I sat thru the entire movie but maybe it was because of my wife. A whodunnit so-called-thriller edited MTV-style for the teens just to keep you believing that time is running involves 7 FBI wannabe profilers on a drill getting killed one by one in very ingenious and clever ways.
You got no time to get in the mood, no time to get to know them better, no time to admire the shots and you wonder how the hell the killer got time to set up all the traps. At the end, I shaked my head in disbelief at the Talking Killer-scene...the whole movie is a pathetic attempt at the whodunnit-genre.
