I would suggest D-Tox ( also known as Eye See You ), starring Sylvester Stallone and co-starring actors like Kris Kristofferson, Tom Berenger, Stephen Lang, Robert Patrick, Jeffrey Wright, Charles S. Dutton, Sean Patrick Flannery and others.
It is very similar to Mindhunters. Even though it is not well-criticised and well-performed in box office etc. it's quite underrated (for me it's too much underrated). It's not a masterpiece for sure, but it isn't bad or tragic like most critics think. It was released in a period that Stallone's career was at his worst (both in terms of box office and in terms of quality). Plus the troubles with the production, 3 year delay etc. It can be also described as a mix of "Ten Little Indians" story with "The Thing" atmosphere.
In D-Tox, Stallone's performance is one of his good ones, not like some other cheesy performances that he used to do after typecasting with more action-macho-yelling-cheesy roles. The movie has a great storyline, a great vilain ( if his character was more analysed , he would be even more interesting one). But the very best thing is the atmosphere, which really reminds me the atmosphere of "The Thing".
The main problem with D-Tox is its editing and the direction ( it is more like "I know what you did last winter", cause the director is Jim Gillespie, who directed " I know what you did last summer" ) . I try to imagine if Renny Harlin( who directed Mindhunters ) had directed this instead of *beep* Driven , it would have been for sure a much much better movie than it is.
Anyway, you won't lose your time, you won't be dissapointed. It's not a masterpiece but at least it's a good movie or I could say it better , it' s definitely a watchable one.
