Saw Mindhunters yesterday and liked it. 8 people on an island and one of them is killing the others. The movie is well-paced, able to sustain the suspense, and the characters can actually be distinguished from each other, which is nice. I think it would have been better if they were quite sure that they are alone on the island, but this is a matter of taste.
The movie demands quite a bit of suspension of disbelief. I have no problem with most of it. IMO it's OK that in the movies people hit each other quite strongly and without appropriate damage, this makes fights in the movies look a lot better than in real life. However, one of the suspension-of-disbelief-moments (the character dying quite spectacularly from an acid-laced cigarette) clearly belongs only in a sci-fi movie, which this one isn't.
