Skip it. 'Mindcage' is a paint-by-numbers thriller that recycles the tired 'brilliant serial killer helps cops' premise without adding anything fresh or clever. The copycat plot twist feels predictable from the jump, and without strong scores backing it up, there are way better cat-and-mouse thrillers worth your time tonight.

Plot

Detectives Jake Doyle and Mary Kelly seek the help of an incarcerated serial killer named The Artist when a copycat killer strikes. While Mary searches for clues in The Artist's brilliant but twisted psyche, she and Jake are lured into a diabolical game of cat and mouse, racing against time to stay one step ahead of The Artist and his copycat.
