Marie's Manic Movie Review

My brother scored me a pass to a special preview of the new thriller from Paramount, "Suspect Zero", so anyone that reads this gets a sneak preview/review.

FBI agent Tom Mackleway (Aaron Eckhart) has just been transferred from the Dallas office to Albuquerque, NM just in time to deal with a mysterious murder on the Arizona - New Mexico border. Tom has bigger problems than this murder. He has constant headaches, he was sent to Albuquerque after being suspended for six months, he's been sent his former partner from Dallas (Carrie-Anne Moss) to help solve this case. It seems they are chasing down a wannabe FBI agent (Ben Kingsley) that is killing off serial killers... but appearances can be deceiving.

Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley both give excellent performances without chewing on the scenery too much. Carrie-Anne Moss appears to have phoned in her performance. The directing isn't too bad, the script, however, if fairly predictable and the cinematography appears to be right out of "Thriller 101" - virtually every camera trick you expect in a suspense film is there.

I'd pay matinee price to see this, but not full ticket price. It gets 2.5 out of 5 stars.
