a5c7b9f00b In 1994, in her high-school prom, Freya McAllister (Navi Rawat) starts to hear voices in her head, is declared schizophrenic and sent to a mental institution. She is treated by Dr. Michael Welles (Peter Horton), who is sponsored by the National Security Agency (NSA), and along the treatment, he tells her that she in not crazy, but indeed she has powerful telepathic skills, being unique in the world. Nine years later, she is assigned by NSA to work with agent Brendan Dean (Joe Flanigan) in New York, chasing together the dangerous terrorist Cazal, whose identity is unknown by the secret service. Freya McAllister suddenly starts hearing voices in her head on the night of her High School Prom. From then on her future ends and she is diagnoseda violent schizophrenic and committed to a mental hospital where she spends the next eight years of her life in mental madness. One night Dr Michael Welles arrives telling Freya that she isn&#39;t crazy but that her voices are the thoughts of everyone around her. He teaches her to turn her telepathic powers into a powerful gift. What he doesn&#39;t say is that he works for the National Security Agency… An excellent all round film, from its storyline to its cast. It has elements of X-Men meets Alias. The story runs well taking you from the very beginning to a mouthwatering &#39;want more&#39; ending. All the characters have their own identities and allow you to understand their feelings and emotions without the need for the usual complex and barely believable plot twists to explain seemingly unnecessary plot rollercoasters. From early on you get very comfortable with the characters and find them very easy to follow and understand, the actors and actresses making this very easy. Special mention must go to Joe Flanagan, (Stargate Atlantis fans will recognise him) who plays a real feeling cop instead of the usual leading Robocop character who never puts a foot wrong, also Peter Horton, (from Sideout and 30something fame) who manages to balance compassion with trying to do the right thing for all people.<br/><br/>Give this film a chance, you will not be disappointed; just nervous stood in a crowd the next day with your thoughts running through your mind. Would you want everyone knowing what you were thinking? Movie is intriguing. The more I see of Navi Rawat the more impressed I am. Her performance in &quot;Thought Crimes&quot; is powerful and affecting. There is great chemistry between her character and Joe Flanigan (&quot;Stargate: Atlantis&quot;) in the latter part of the story.<br/><br/>It&#39;s very entertaining, well-acted, exciting and even the score is extremely well done. The directing is top-notch, it couldn&#39;t have been easy to develop scenes so often where thinking and speaking have to go together in a way that the audience isn&#39;t confused. I highly recommend it. Its a riveting movie..so how about making this a new TV series. We sure do need good shows that worth watching!
