I was speaking with a friend today who mentioned a movie he had seen several years ago. He was hazy on the details, but remembered that it was about a group that included at least two or three psychological profilers making their way through some sort of abandoned facility and being killed off one by one by a series of traps. The traps were designed for the individual members of the group so that one trap might draw in the handyman of the group with a piece of broken machinery, for example. My friend thought that either Ethan Hawke or Jonny Lee Miller was in the movie, but didn’t sound certain. My friend couldn’t remember any other details, unfortunately including the title.

Is there any chance that any Dopers can help me identify this film? It sounds interesting, but I don’t have any way to track it down with just what he remembered.

It sounds like Mindhunters, from 2004.
