Synopsis:

Suspect Zero follows the disgraced FBI Agent Thomas Mackelway (Aaron Eckhart), who was transferred to a desolate area in Albuquerque, New Mexico as punishment for botching a procedure which ultimately led to the release of one of the most notorious criminals on the FBI's list. Mackelway is given an opportunity to redeem himself, however, when he is called in to investigate the strange murder of a traveling salesman. Mysteriously, the mark of a circle with a line through it is the only clue that the killer left behind. Before long, the prime suspect is identified as former agent Benjamin O'Ryan (Ben Kingsley), who is seemingly obsessed with hunting down serial killers and murdering them rather than turning them in to the proper authorities. Though Mackelway believes he knows the area where O'Ryan (Kingsley) is living, he has no idea what he looks like -- a problem that the rogue agent exploits with great success. Despite his brilliance, Mackelway finds himself caught in a psychological labyrinth of sorts, and is faced with an even greater quandary after learning that O'Ryan is looking for none other than Suspect Zero, a murderer of hundreds and the FBI's most wanted man.

Review:

Have you ever watched a movie, then a few days or a week later you completely have no memory of anything that happened in that film? We'll that was this one for me. I honestly could not tell you anything that happened in this. All I remember is thinking man Ben Kingsley & Aaron Eckhart are really mailing it in for the paycheck on this one. Either one of them seemed to give a shit about anything happening in the film. There was no pacing, tons of over reaction to everything. Just a garbled mess of a film. Very boring & slow moving. Bleck shit film.
