A group of FBI serial killer profilers is sent to a mock town on an uninhabited island for training, only to discover that one of them is an actual serial killer.
Let me start by saying that this film is as dumb as a sack of rocks. Much of it makes no sense at all, not least of which are some of the impossibly convoluted killing methods, which depend on knowing that so-and-so will be standing in just such a position at just such a time - murder by dominoes and liquid nitrogen being a case in point. I can envision someone being unprepared to suspend disbelief over that, so that the film turns them off completely. Personally, I thought it was a hoot.
And I think the cast has fun chewing the scenery in an over-the-top load of old nonsense, directed by Renny Harlin with panache, style, and tongue firmly in cheek.
So did I.
