2000 - 107m.

A matter of style over substance here as Jennifer Lopez is brought-in by the FBI to go into the mind of a deranged serial killer (Vincent D'Onofrio, who's convincingly mental) using a new technology in order for them to find the location of his latest victim who's in danger of drowning in a plexi-glass cell within days.

The story is a tad muddy as first, but soon it starts to meld better with an interesting premise and director Singh going quite over-the-top with the strong visuals and stylish production design.

Eccentric and totally demented (sometimes more than it needs to be), this is quite the ride that while it may be a bit loopy in the scripting department makes up for it in the visuals.

Lots of memorably twisted moments are here and it's acted well - this is truly a unique film that's odd and hard to classify.
