CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

gridoon2018 "Murder In My Mind" opens with a relatively plausible sci-fi premise - the transfer of one person's short-term memories to another via injected brain cells - but quickly becomes much more "fiction" than "science", as the recipient starts assuming the personality and feelings of the "donor" as well. In any case, the film kept me engaged from beginning to end, and that's what matters the most. Its premise is not strikingly original - didn't "Unforgettable" do something similar in 1996? - but it does add a twist on the usual serial killer formula. The characters are not strikingly original either - the young, inexperienced female FBI agent who has to prove her worth, the gruff but ultimately kind-hearted boss, the scientist who risks everything for love but later has second thoughts, the serial killer with a childhood trauma - but they are so well-played, by a well-chosen cast, that they become real. Nicollette Sheridan essentially has to play two roles - herself and the woman whose memories she now shares - and she is (and looks) pretty terrific. (**1/2)

Bob Peterson Caught this one on cable the other night. Saw that it Nicollette Sherridan (Desperate Housewives) in it. Figured I'd check it out! It was a good, suspenseful movie! Sheridan plays a FBI agent, even though they don't actually call them FBI agents, that's on the trail of a serial killer. She gets injected with what's believed to be a victim's brain things. I really liked her part in the movie. Peter Coyote plays the Dr. that helps her try and find out who is killing all these women. There's a "taste" of romance in this one. I liked how they didn't really go into that much. They just kept with the story line! If you could catch it, it's definitely worth it!

Theo Robertson There is a belief amongst the Romany people that the human eyeball contains the image of the very last thing a dead person saw . There is no scientific rationale for this and the producers of MURDER IN MIND have taken this unscientific idea one step further and suggest that the brain of a dead person contains their final thoughts as they died , ideas that can be transplanted into another person`s head . It struck me that whoever came up with this premise were short on their own ideas This premise does the TVM no favours . It`s a bad premise and it`s a bad TVM with sci-fi fans put off by the run of the mill script and the intended female audience put off by the idea that it`s a sci-fi thriller . Being someone who hates TVMs I was hoping that it might redeem itself via some clever ideas but I got rapidly bored as it becomes obvious that the real story revolves around a newbie female cop called Callain Pearson getting patronized by some tough old sweat detectives led by Cargill which we`ve seen far too often in these type of movies . The harder this TVM tries to satisfy both a Sci-Fi and female TVM audience the more it fails to satisfy either camp

petershelleyau The treatment by Tom Swale veers from sci-fi psychology with a person having a "memory transplant" and "short term sensory experiences", to the hunt for a serial killer known as the Rose Killer. Unfortunately, the protagonist, Washington FBI agent Callain Pearson, is played glacially by Nicolette Sheridan. Pearson is the beneficiary of the experimental transplant from brain dead witness to the killer, Marlene Wells (Stellina Rusich), since her boyfriend Arthur Lefcourt (Peter Coyote) also happens to be a neurosurgeon at Oak Park University Medical Center. The gimmick here is that Marlene behaved the femme fatale, which allows the buttoned-up Pearson to act out - smoking, dancing, and even smiling. However, the denouement reveals little connection to the identity of the killer, who conveniently has his own Freudian memory experience at the climax.Sheridan is attractive enough to bring off the bad girl turns, and also has the skill to carry a fearful crying scene as Pearson, however her face remains closed to the camera, predetermining what it records as opposed to allowing us to read any flowering emotion.Coyote and Stacy Keach as Pearson's superior are wasted in their supporting roles, and even Peter Outerbridge as Marlene's boyfriend artist Jack Bolinas is finally a red herring. Director Robert Iscove uses blue tints for Callain's memory, and subjective hand-held camera with the obligatory heavy breathing for the killer's POV. We get fast music for 2 chases, though Iscove does make a joke of a SWAT team's methods of entry when they are called to the Center.Swale's teleplay features howlers such as "If I can't count on you to help me, I can't count on you". "When all else fails, sometimes the best logic is illogic". And the "classic idealisation/devaluation syndrome - he forces them to reject him to validate his stalking and attacking". Plus apparently FBI agents aren't trained in hand to hand combat, since there are 2 incidents where without a gun, they are defenceless.
