Reviews for Suspect Zero
Essentially an X-files episode that wishes it were as disturbing and visually arresting as David Fincher's Seven (it's not).

The self-consciously arty thriller is a sort of one-size-fits-all audience horror orgy, with an intriguing mix of fixations
11/02/04
A poor man's 'Silence of the Lambs' crossed with 'Insomnia.' And that makes it at least a decent popcorn movie.

The whole thing would have been over a lot quicker if they had only called in Mulder and Scully.
10/03/04
Suspect Zero is trying so hard to be deliberately stylish that it forgets there's an interesting premise underneath all that vanity.
09/27/04
Merhige treats the laughable plot as if it were high existential drama. He smothers what might have been a solid B picture in relentless art-house pretension.
09/23/04
The film is undeniably flawed, yet the things that work do so beautifully.
09/15/04
Another serial-killer mystery in which no one gets out alive, least of all its clueless leads.
09/03/04
Merhige gets plenty of mileage out of these visions and the creepy, metallic sound design and score, almost managing to snuff out the film's more ordinary attributes.
09/03/04
The real drama of the story is pretty much background for a conventional thriller.
09/03/04
Suspect Zero hits the middle ground, with a modestly compelling storyline ...
09/02/04
In the end, Suspect Zero is more interesting as filmmaking than it is as a thriller.
