"Suspect Zero" is truly, truly terrible. Zak Penn is trying desperately to emulate David Fincher, and fails...miserably. His style of filming is all over the place and he can't make up his mind whether he's filming a noir, nouveau or straight thriller. The script is AWFUL - and does not do its stars justice. Ben Kingsley effectively hams it up as a deranged ex-FBI Agent trying to pin down a heinous serial killer but comes across as a poor man's Kevin Spacey. Aaron Eckhart gamely matches him but falls short and Carrie Ann Moss is woefully miscast as his partner. The cinematography is the only saving grace - bleak and grainy, it effectively captures the essence of the film. All in all, I would not recommend this, unless you have a fixation with bad B movies.
