FBI agent Thomas Mackelway (Eckhart) is called to New Mexico to investigate a murder that left the dead body in a car on the Arizona-New Mexico border. As the investigation begins, Mackelway soon finds himself being taunted by someone via faxes of drawings of the victim. Soon, there is another murder, seemingly at random. But, the second victim is a serial killer, and it turns out that the killer might be one as well. Could there be a serial murderer going around killing serial murderers? Well, that is where the movie falters a bit. There is no real mystery here, and if you have seen the trailer you know that. Ben Kingsley plays Benjamin O'Ryan, an ex-FBI remote viewer who is plagued by horrible images that are compelling him to act. Kingsley does the best he can with what is given him, and the movie is interesting enough, but one cannot help but wonder if this movie would have been better if the killer's identity had been more of a mystery. Of course, then you would have less screen time for Kingsley, and he carries the movie to some extent. Good movie, but not as good as it could have been.
