Suspect Zero is a 2004 thriller film directed by E. Elias Merhige. The film stars Aaron Eckhart, Ben Kingsley and Carrie-Anne Moss. It opened to decidedly negative reviews, and failed to earn back half of its estimated $27 million production costs at the box office. The movie currently holds an 18% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. FBI agents Thomas Mackelway and Fran Kulok are put on the trail of Ben O'Ryan , a serial killer who exclusively targets other serial killers. As the investigation proceeds, the agents begin to become aware of the possible existence of "Suspect Zero", a mythical "super... serial killer" responsible for hundreds of deaths across all 50 states who leaves no evidence behind to link his crimes together. The agents must decide if O'Ryan is the key that will allow them to catch Suspect Zero, or if he is Suspect Zero himself. As it turns out, O'Ryan was part of a secret government experiment attempting to cultivate telepathic abilities in individuals for military purposes. The experiments gave O'Ryan the ability to see the actions of serial killers.
