Genres & Description

Action Drama Fantasy Horror Mystery Sci-Fi Thriller

7.1 / 10

The film centers on a wounded Gulf war veteran who returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia. He is hitching and gets picked up by a stranger, things go wrong when a cop pulls them over and is murdered by a stranger. The vet is wrongly accused of the killing and lands in an asylum. A disreputable doctor prescribes a course of experimental therapy, restraining him in a modified strength straight jacket-like device, and locks him away in a cadaver drawer in the basement morgue. During the course of his treatment, he gets flashbacks and visions of his future where he can foresee that he is to die in four days time; He just doesn't know how. And thus commences the classic race against time for this tortured veteran with an expiration date.

I never understood why this movie are so highly rated, but I have to admit I had never watch it to the end and never used subtitles but now I am a boxxy software user and I can watch everything I want with good subtitles or dubbing and really this is a good movie maybe one of the best ever made! - @Tuesday, September 25, 2018 10:47 AM

The exterior scenes at the hospital were filmed at the old Bangor Psychiatric Hospital, at Bangor Village, Scotland, not too far from where I live, (car drive away), I was last there a couple of years ago, its been closed for a long long time but its all still there and its amazing, very gothic and victorian, closed in 1996 or something, it was a self contained village, bus route that ran thru the grounds, its own chapel/church, shop etc etc, anyone visiting East central scotland should go for a wander round, you need a whole day atlas tho........ - @Tuesday, April 3, 2018 5:24 PM

**SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!** Okay I am driving myself insane right now because I need concrete answers lmao. Are we to assume that Daniel Craig's character and the guy who shoots the cop are the same people? In the beginning of the movie they show Jack holding a green string, later on at the end when Jack slips on the ice you can see Daniel Craig holding that same green string up to the window, which then you see the guy who shot the cop sitting in a bar holding that same green string - @Sunday, August 20, 2017 5:58 AM

The ultimate guinea pig. A decent and genuinely nice guy told to go fight and gets shot by a kid he was trying to befriend and be kind to. Comes back and helps a stranded mom and daughter then the mom attacks him. Gets picked up by a guy who kills a cop and he gets blamed for it and called insane. Put in a nut house and they then put him in a straight jacket and perform mind behavior experiments on him while saying he's delusional and crazy. Amazing movie. - @Saturday, April 29, 2017 1:24 PM

why does every single movie with a supposedly interesting concept have to ultimately be about "love for some cute girl"-- it's this one-sided perspective from a guy's point of view that half of all audiences can't relate to. As always, the "smart and competent" doctors/scientists are men, even though clearly the story was written by someone who only had stereotypes and illusions about what science and medicine must be like, and no actual knowledge-- and the "hot and sexy sex objects" are always women. Always the same, cookie-cutter young, "cute," thin, "pretty" girly girl who's there so that the main character can have sex with her in some gratuitous scene they assume audiences aren't completely sick of seeing by now. (And you can be pretty sure that if a woman is involved in the story, and freaking hell, there always is, then her part of the story is either about rape, pregnancy, prostitution, sex, or something else to do with her body in a sexual way-- because nothing else can happen to a woman other than her role as a sex object). If I wanted to watch romance, I'd watch a romantic comedy; if I wanted to watch women stripping and having sex, which as a straight female I really, really don't, I suppose I'd watch porn aimed at preadolescent males. If I want to see a movie with a supposedly engaging concept that makes you think, I don't want to see "romance with some pretty young girl" and then the inevitable sex scene where said young girl will strip gratuitously ad nauseum). And everyone just loves seeing this over and over again. - @Wednesday, July 27, 2016 11:04 AM
