Mindhunters, 2004 "For Seven Elite FBI profilers, finding a serial killer is a process of elimination. Their own." Like many of Renny Harlin's projects, Mindhunters is a movie that seems to have been made as thin pretense for two people to put on before some *furious* finger-banging on a futon. Visually fun, logically incomprehensible. With Val Kilmer as a lead, we are guaranteed colorful anecdotes of petulant and bonkers star behavior. So let's do it!

Most of this movie gave me a post-traumatic 80's tummyache. But something I was surprised to like, as a gender-studies major, was all the super-sexy shots of Brad. Would John Hughes have shot Andrew McCarthy shirtless in the sprinklers? Luis gets to show a lot of sexual agency, she's INTO it. This is a sharp contrast to other 80's movies, where nice girls were constantly fighting off date rapists, or sex was something they surrendered reluctantly, knowing it would lower their value.
