Two evil geniuses. Too evil to be caught. Except by each other.
Sixteen-year-old Alex Bennett (Eddie Redmayne) is remanded in a juvenile centre after the shotgun death of his school-mate Nigel Colby (Tom Sturridge). Forensic psychologist Sally Rowe (Toni Collette) is appointed by the police to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to lay murder charges against Alex. Taking control of the situation, Alex slowly feeds his story to the psychologist a spellbinding tale that takes us into a world of dark secrets and dangerous mind games.

Theatrical report
Like minds is so like the original "foreign" source for the Hollywood version of Murder by numbers that it's spooky: two teenage boys create a web of mind games, murder and deceit until being captured by the driven female criminologist. Fortunately, it's not a Hollywood remake so the psychological games aren't merely twisty but twisted, dark and bleak. Everyone has delicious British accents (from Yorkshire to schoolboy posh) while Alex and Nigel capture the arrogance of English private schooling to perfection.
If you're an Anglophile or just keen for a bit of psychopathic schoolboy skulduggery then you'll like Like minds.
