I've been watching so many terrible movies lately I almost don't know what to say about a decent film. "Suspect Zero" was definitely good.
Agent Thomas Mackelway (Aaron Eckhart) is demoted to the Albuquerque F.B.I. field office from the Dallas field office. Right away you can tell that he is a big fish in a small pond and would rather be anywhere else. Before he can settle into his new digs he is thrust into a murder case chasing down Benjamin O'Ryan (Ben Kingsley) who is so elusive that he seems almost supernatural.
For those who like cop movies this is a nice addition to the collection. There is the old fashion following the evidence with the small bonus of a killer that's seemingly taunting agent Mackelway. The whodunit aspect is a non-factor as the face of the killer is shown to the audience right away, but there is always the 'why'. And most of the time the 'why' is far more interesting than the 'who'.
There is moderate intensity and solid acting. Ben Kingsley delivers really well as the near psychotic killer. But if you're thinking--"Oh, another psychotic genius that must be stopped. How original,"--don't. Yes he is a bit psychotic and he has above average intelligence but that's where the parallels end with all other similar movies. It's worth a watch.
