Use a little forensic psychology and macabre from Silence Of The Lambs, mix in some religious secret society from The Da Vinci Code, and finally sprinkle in some stiff acting, and you have Like Minds.
Alex is arrested for murdering his boarding schoolmate Nigel. Through his interviews with forensic psychologist, the story is told in flashbacks. Nigel has a freaky interest in things dead and loves only one more than taxidermy - study of the Templars. In the flashbacks we learn that Nigel has set Alex up... or has it been all the other way around? There is the expected big reveal at the end.
The story was good, I wanted to know what happened. But there was nobody I cared for. Alex and Nigel are the most interesting but they are gruesomely cold. The police and the forensic psychologist are weak, and the boys' parents are not nice either. Maybe a remake with some warmth, Alex and his friends, or the cops, would make it much more watchable. I rate it a 6 (it was watchable, but I could have been easily distracted).
