Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating
A killer is on the loose, and an FBI agent sifts through clues and learns that the bloodthirsty felon's victims of choice are other serial killers.
Suspect Zero has a genuinely intriguing high-concept premise—a serial killer who hunts other serial killers using remote viewing—that sets it apart from standard FBI procedurals. However, the execution is uneven: the plot loses coherence in the third act, Aaron Eckhart and Carrie-Anne Moss deliver competent but unremarkable performances while Ben Kingsley overacts erratically, and the ending feels muddled and unsatisfying. The cinematography has some stylish, hallucinatory flourishes that elevate it slightly above average, but the film ultimately squanders its promising concept with messy storytelling and an anticlimactic resolution.
