Long after the fact follow up to the Tarsem Jennifer Lopez story about a psychic going inside the mind of a serial killer. Here the FBI is using a psychic to capture a serial killer who abducts women and then "flatlines" his victims repeatedly before actually killing them. She gets the FBI to the hide out too late and then leaves the service (The fact hat one agent brow beats her by telling her its all her fault doesn't help) A year later the FBI return to ask her help and she reluctantly agrees. Poor serial killer has the feel of a TV soap opera and the visual style of a fancy porn film (I'm not saying it is one just that it feels like the exposition scenes in one). Carefully constructed with everyone and everything laid out exactly as it should be to the extent that there is no life in the proceedings. The performances are adequate at best with several, our lead, falling into the silly side of things. I quickly grew bored with it since it was a film that sided with form over content. I would take a pass if you run across this. One of the weakest films of the year

Maya teams up with Harris trying to save his niece Penelope, but her time is short and she must risk her own safety to help the young woman......
Yet another quick Dollar made by movie studios who think it's a good idea to cash on a semi successful movie released a few years prior.
like 8mm 2, and the net 2.0, this has virtually nothing to do with the original, apart from the first five minutes, and the rest of the movie, is bland, uninvolved and badly acted/edited.
Seeing that this is directed by someone who produced and directed several episodes of '24' this is one major feat, making something virtually unwatchable.
and the inclusion of frank Whaly, just gives the game away the instant he appears on the screen.
the effects are turgid and laughable, the script and story is dire, and it becomes a shambles come the end.
Do yourself a favour, read the other reviews and believe them, it truly is this bad.
the unfortunate thing is, we are going to be 'treated to other movies like this for years to come, and we will keep watching them, just for a miracle to come along.
nothing like the first one...
I loved the first one... it was awesome. if you expect anything like the first one you'll be disappointed. just take my word for it and don't waste your time... this is barely a movie. there is no acting, no logical story, no visual effects and the script was probably written in an hour... I cannot even call it a B movie, C or D movie at best... plain waste of money and time... You will figure out everything after the first 4 minutes. If this movie is your choice for a rental, rent another one with it, or your movie night will be ruined. Now I am just writing to complete 10 lines of text, because there is nothing else to write about this movie, it just sucks. and there you go, 10 lines...
