Director: Simon Brand
Writer: Matthew Waynee
Stars: Jim Caviezel, Greg Kinnear, Bridget Moynahan
The initial premise of the plot takes a bit of getting used to, but it could happen, it could happen; so let's go with it. The genius of the story is not letting that one major premise die in the first five minutes after it has been revealed to the audience. Then it becomes a good storytelling sequence. Various characters had clearly defined roles to play and they all did that quite nicely. The plot could have probed a bit deeper into the human psyche to find who each person really was now that there were five blank slates, so to speak; but this is an action thriller, not a psychological drama so much. Then again, it did find the inner good/bad guys. The twists at the end are quite nice and I didn't expect them at all. While there are few other movies with similar themes, this one holds the audience in suspense right to the end. My Rating: 7.0
