5.0 out of 5 stars Nice surprise. Should have had bigger release!, 16 Jan 2008
FEAR AND EVIL MAKE DEADLY COMPANIONS.

From writer/director Greg Read, LIKE MINDS stars Oscar® nominee Toni Collette (The Night Listener, In Her Shoes, About A Boy) and is the cinematic debut of hot upcoming young star, London-born Eddie Redmayne (The Good Shepherd, Elizabeth - The Golden Age).

LIKE MINDS is a brilliant psychological thriller and a highly original screenplay brought chillingly to life by outstanding performances from the key cast.

When the new boy Nigel arrives at school, Alex suddenly finds himself lumped with a new and very weird dorm-mate. Quiet, cold and with an unhealthy pre-occupation of all things dead, Nigel's other bizarre interests extend to a macabre fascination with pure blood-lineage and history. Despite their differences, slowly Nigel manages to insinuate himself into Alex's life and soon an inexplicable bond forms between the two boys, that will lead to the ultimate tragedy of Nigel's death,

But all is not as it seems, and the complexities of the mystery and its sinister depths are yet to be revealed.

Appointed by local police to review a murder case, forensic psychologist, Sally Rowe is faced with the challenge of determining if accused 17 year-old Alex should face charges for the shotgun death of schoolmate Nigel Colbie. Alex's highly influential father is putting pressure on local authorities to drop the case against his son based on lack of evidence, but Sally's investigation begins to uncover some disturbing facts. It surfaces that the relationship between the two boys is based on a bizarre symbiotic pact that led to the tragedy, and that it's influence on Alex, despite Nigel's death, is far from diminished.

With stunning cinematography and mesmerising scenes, especially those portraying the relationship between Alex and Nigel, LIKE MINDS is a unique and exceptional film. The character of Nigel, as portrayed by Tom Sturridge, is evil and menacing, and Eddie Redmayne as Alex is astoundingly compelling. Both brilliant performances from these two young cast-member combined with the power of Toni Collette's unquestionable talent makes LIKE MINDS chillingly real to audiences.

Unpredictable, unrelenting and evil, the story becomes more and more fascinating and addictive as the film progresses. But it does not end there. With some serious jaw-dropping plot twists and some visceral murder scenes, this is not for the faint of heart. Fans of dark, macabre thrillers are in for an intellectual rollercoaster ride as this quality Australian production of LIKE MINDS delves into a sinister, morbid world that will guarantee this film a cult-status in years to come.....a must-see.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could Do Better, 18 April 2008
By ianrmillard - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This film, set in an expensive-looking boys' school somewhere undefined in the UK (Scotland?) was made by a South Australian group funded by their State. It could have been a really good film but, as it is, is merely "quite good".

The problem illustrated by this film is that it is always hazardous for a director to go beyond his cultural parameters. It is obvious that some of the film was made in the UK and most of the actors seem to be English, but the trains used as part of the plot are not of a type I ever saw in the UK; worse, the way the 17-year-old suspect is treated could never (I hope) happen in the UK. The young man is charged with murder, but questioned AFTER charge (a no-no in the British system), is kept in police custody for literally days without a lawyer or parent present and is questioned in such absence; he is brutally slapped by the main detective because he insults a woman psychologist who, by the way, also manages to offer the young man inducements and/or threats in order to extract a statement. Whisky Wow Wow! I am a barrister so sensitive to these things, but even so...

As to the story, it starts very well, but peters out a bit into rather facile plotlines involving the Knights Templar and Cathars, all good ideas but not being developed, really.

Pity, it could have been a lot better. Still worth watching, though.
PS: On watching it for a second times, I see that the locations credited were in Yorkshire and on the Welsh border, with some work probably done elsewhere (I still think the police station was in Australia somewhere, having lived three years there a long time ago).

1.0 out of 5 stars Toni why this rubbish, 13 Jan 2008
By J. L. Keogh (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is like some bad australian soap opera that tries to gain credibility by using the masons. What Toni Collette was thinking I have no idea. Like Murder By Numbers but worse. Save your time and money. I wish I had.
