Agreed! I thought this was a really good story, I love psychology and stories about serial killers, especially if FBI catches them, like in the Hannibal movies, Criminal Minds etc., so this story, that a bunch of Profilers stuck on an Island, now that was like a treat for me... but all these stupid characters! OMG! "It was you" "NOooo, it was youuu" "Nooooo it waaaas youuu" Geeez! Acted like a bunch of scared idiots. I mean I get it, suddenly all your partners are killed next to you so you're in a shock etc., but common, this was a mess! I gave it a 6. Cause of the story.

It's okay for them to look at the domino and not run away like a pussy because it was a simulation and simulations hardly could kill because there is safety involved (except when a serial killer placed real deadly traps). THE BIG PROBLEM IS they were like 7-8 guys and nobody thought about seeing what is about to happen when there was plenty of time. Literally there are 30 seconds of dominoes falling and around 6 (SIX) more seconds for the tank to drop in which an FBI agent would surely move his ass away. Nobody saw the big ass hydrogen tank and the stuff which were about to be activated by the falling dominoes. And the stuff was very easy to follow - a ball dropping on a basket full of other balls preventing the gas tank from falling. The death is very lame also. There wasn't a possibility for his whole body to froze. Also liquid nitrogen is called that for a reason. It boils at higher temperatures at which it becomes gas. So it's temperature would be higher and even then it is most cold in liquid form and not in gas form so it wouldn't transfer heat that fast and even then the cold wouldn't transfer in the body so fast.

The domino scene infuriated me and took me out of my disbelief immediately.
I get it's training not real life etc, however two of the agents had literally only just had their asses kicked in front of the rest for being too complacent on the previous exercise. They should have been extra alert for (simulated) danger.
They had been told the bad guy was a "puppeteer". They are investigating a crime scene. Rather than standing like "oh gee let's see what he has in store for us", the least they should have been expecting was some kind of simulation-ending knockout blow like a paint bomb.
They had plenty of time to punch a few of the dominoes out of the later track so that the sequence stopped, then they could have worked out what would have followed and found the liquid nitrogen trap. This would have made a better film; the agents are established as having situational intelligence, having dodged the killer's first trap, but we also now know something is badly wrong with the simulation and they start to wonder what's going on.
