We spoke w/ Ben Mendelsohn about 'To Catch a Killer' and returning as Talos for 'Secret Invasion.'
[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for To Catch a Killer.]The crime drama To Catch a Killer follows a gifted young police investigator named Eleanor , who’s recruited by the FBI’s chief investigator Geoffrey Lammark to help track down a very disturbed individual leaving bodies in his wake. Although a manhunt is underway, the perpetrator keeps evading them at every turn, forcing Eleanor to dig into her own dark past to better understand who they’re pursuing.
BEN MENDELSOHN: To be honest, it was a different time. As a psychological thriller and getting to work with those fantastic people, I thought it was an interesting and good take on it, in terms of this profiling on the run thing that he does. The explosion of it now has really changed what this film is. It’s just horrendous. At the time that we were doing it, even given the frequency with which these events happen, the change from that time to this time is just heartbreaking.
One of the things I found so interesting is that stories like this tend to be focused on the case itself, solving the case, and catching the bad guy, that it often doesn’t leave a lot of time for character history and relationships, but this film manages to find a balance of that. I also thought it really showed us some interesting things about your character and about the character of Eleanor.
MENDELSOHN: It’s so great, isn’t it? It was wonderful. And then, they have that dinner scene where they don’t get along well together. They’re at completely different political ends of the spectrum. I thought that was very, very rewarding. He’s a really interesting guy. How did you feel about the ending of this and how things wrapped up with the film and your character’s fate?
