Mind Games (2001 TV Movie)
9/10
A great watch.
17 February 2022
The Police bring in a criminal profiler, to help unravel a series of ritualistic murders, none of which seem to be connected.

I'm watching this for the first time twenty years after it was first transmitted, in my opinion it holds up really well. The scenario is a good one, it's very easy to spot that it's from the pen of Lynda la Plante, it has the five of Prime Suspect and Trial and Retribution.

Fiona Shaw, in my humble opinion, she's one of the best, outrageously talented, and of course she doesn't disappoint, even if the basic premise of the character ia a wee bit of a stretch, perhaps.

You can argue it looks a little dated, and perhaps some of the filming is a little clunky, but it's well paced, they present a gritty mystery, and they offer a very exciting ending.

What a shame they didn't develop the character any further.

Well worth watching, 9/10.
