Product Description
Psychological thriller about five men with no memory. Five men wake up together in a mysterious warehouse and no recollection of anything at all. All signs point to their having been involved in something illicit - one of them is tied to a chair and there are obvious signs of struggle everywhere. Are the ones who're not tied up captors and the tied ones victims? Nobody can say but it's certain that they need each other to get out of this mess. Intrigue and double-cross unfold as a series of flashbacks and scenes of a worried wife (Bridget Moynahan) waiting for news fill in the details. The fairly hefty ensemble cast includes Joe Pantoliano, Peter Stormare, Greg Kinnear and Jim Caviezel.

I must admit i approached this film with geat anticipation after the revelation of Liam Neeson's ass-kicking ability displayed in the excellent Taken.
And although big Liam holds top billing in both that is where the similarities end. That doesn't mean this is a bad film because its not, it has however been done before.
Man and wife check into a Berlin hotel for a science summit, man realises he has left a briefcase at the airport and jumps in a taxi to retrieve it. Taxi crashes, man wakes in hospital with partial amnesia, returns to the hotel to find wife with another man claiming to be her husband. So begins the game of cat & mouse.
The story is good, performances are too and the action is done very well once it starts but the story is reminiscent of films like Timebomb with Michael Biehn & more recently The Long Kiss Goodnight.
One to try before you buy.

This action/thriller/mystery is a little far fetched to say the least but great fun non the less. Similar to {Taken 2008 also starring Neeson which is excellent} in many ways with the theme that anything can happen to a unassuming American "with a bad accent" in Europe" The action isn't amazing but decent enough with the main credit being drawn from the twist towards the end I won't give to much away but i found it more original than most movies I seen recently. I will say the one major unfeasible point is that after a bump on the head and short team memory loss Neeson's character had acquired a set of morals and desire to destroy his former friends colleagues. I finish by recommending this flick to those who liked taken or an action film with some thought put into the storyline however unlikely it maybe i was entertained throughout.
For a better action film set in Europe go watch Bourne for a better mystery thriller with misplaced character go watch shutter Island. If you like both of those titles I think you should find this movie more than watchable.

Great DVD
This film has intense suspension and believability, as in often the genre of films with Liam Neeson. It doesn't disappoint Neeson fans.
