LIKE MINDS – CATCH IT ( B ) I love movies like "LIKE MINDS" somehow it always fascinates me. Like Minds is nothing unusual and most of the time we have seen movies like that where what ever you see is not what it is! The thing I loved about Like Minds is obviously touching the Gestate Theory and mixing it up with Christ History. It makes the movie more captivating and riveting. Nonetheless, the movie is well made and story is exhilarating and the Ending left me Google and reversing the entire movie yet there were some things director could have shown in the end to tell us what was real and what was Not! Usually in the movies like that they show in the end What exactly happened and How exactly everything happened, but it didn't happened in Like Minds. If they would have shot that, then it would have been a memorable experience. Eddie Redmayne is stunningly captivating and his performance got my grip from beginning till end. Tom Sturridge is another captivating Brit Lad, gorgeous as Hell & actor with lot of dept. I love, I would say the sexual tension between Eddie Redmayne and Tom Sturridge, both compliment each other Extremely well. Toni Collette is good as always, she didn't have much material to play with. Overall, an enjoyable, thought provoking movie, few glitches here and there but still Enjoyable. Watch it for SexXxy Talented Brit Lads "Eddie Redmayne" and "Tom Sturridge",

The forensic psychiatric Sally Rowe (Tony Collette) is called by Detective Martin Mackenzie (Richard Roxburgh) to analyze the profile of the teenager Alex Forbes (Eddie Redmayne), who was found in a train station holding the body of his schoolmate Nigel Colby (Tom Sturridge) and with powder in his hand. Alex discloses his relationship with Nigel, who believes that they were descendants of the Templar Knights, and how Nigel used the power of his mind to control him. Mackenzie believes that Alex is the killer, but Susan investigates the family of Nigel under pressure of Alex's father, and finds that all of them belong to an ancient and powerful secret society."Like Minds" is a boring and predictable movie. The character Alex is extremely intelligent, cult, cynical and psychopathic, therefore it is too obvious who the killer actually is. But the greatest problem of this screenplay is the development of the characters, which it is impossible to feel any sort of empathy for none of them with exception of Susan. In the end, it does not matter if the criminal is Nigel, Alex, his father, Mackenzie or whoever, since all of them are absolutely unpleasant. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Mentes Diabólicas" ("Evil Minds")

The film starts out very simple, a dead body and a kid as the most likely suspect. Toni Collette plays a psychologist trying to get an idea of whether or not he is guilty. The rest of the film is told in flashback, starting with Alex, the kid suspected, being introduced to the world of Nigel, his new roommate, who believes that he is something more than what people see him as, and he wonders if Alex may be a part of it. From there, the events leading up to Nigel's death is unraveled, leading up to the final climatic ending.This film tries to do what several successful films have done in the past by posing a semi-twist ending. Unfortunately it falls a little short of getting there, and becoming more of an open-ended film to think about, open to your own interpretation.

Public schoolboy Nigel Colby (Tom Sturridge) is found dead. His head has been blown off. Arrogant rich kid Alex (Eddie Redmayne) is found standing over the body with a shotgun, but he denies committing murder. As Alex is a minor, criminal psychologist Sally (Toni Collette) is asked to determine whether the boy should be charged with the murder of his schoolfriend. As Alex tells his story, flashbacks reveal the truth of what happened and the shifting relationship between the two boys. Or do they? Who is insane here? Nigel? Alex? Or maybe both?I checked the cinema listings last Friday, and bored to tears with the thought of seeing a summer blockbuster, I opted for this, primarily on the basis that it featured Toni Collette, who is never less than interesting in every film she has appeared in.I'd never heard of "Like Minds". It has not had a major cinema release in the UK, which is a shame, because it's not a bad film, just a bit derivative. A low key mix of "Murder By Numbers" and "Primal Fear" set in an (English?) public school. It is a thriller, but it is also all about the shifting of control and domination and obsession.Toni Collette and Richard Roxburgh are not top billed, and that is correct, because their parts are really just extended cameos. The film belongs to Eddie Redmayne and Tom Sturridge as Alex and Nigel. Both good, otherworldly performances, especially by Eddie Redmayne.I think that "Like Minds" is worth a look.
