When Jean Jacket (Jim Caviezel) bangs on the barred window at the very beginning, the wall very visibly shakes and bulges outwards, revealing it to be improperly anchored drywall at best.

When Jim Caviezel offers Joe Pantoliano (who is tied to a chair) a bottle of water, Jim opens it by pulling off the cap.

If Joe has the bottle a moment later, he pulls off the cap again with his teeth.

This was a decent crime thriller about 5 men who wake up in a locked warehouse with no memory of how they got there or even who they are. Suffering short term amnesia from an expelled "mystery" gas container they gradually discover/deduce that 2 of them are hostages and 3 are kidnappers, but who are the good guys and who are the bad?

I like Liam Neeson a lot and this movie is very solid and enjoyable. If you like his "Taken" series, don't miss this!

A man wakes from a coma only to find that there is another man leading his life in his place.Even his wife denies ever seeing him...

Having seen the awful TAKEN, I thought this had been written / produced by the same team.The so-called plot has more holes than Bruce Willis' t-shirt at the end of a Die Hard movie.

Its just too bad. but when you've watched a huge amount of movies, there comes the point when you've simply seen all the plots before and it all just repeats itself over and over..

The three archetypal amnesia thrillers are Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945), Dmytryk's Mirage (1965), and Limon's The Bourne Identity (2002). Of these, Spellbound is of course the best (because Hitchcock), but Mirage is my favorite.

This may be a spoiler for you, so read no further unless you have seen the film and can understand what I am talking about. Typically, a patient with a head injury and memory loss has primarily short-term memory loss, while retaining long-term (which is how he knows him name, for instance, and whether he is actually married).

***SPOILERS*** Waking up from what seemed like a drug induced sleep Dreamy Eyes, James Caviezel, finds himself locked in a deserted wear-house with four other persons. There's Crew-cut, Berry Pepper, Glasses, Joe Pantoliano, Broken Nose, Greg Kinnear, and handcuffed, Jeremy Sisto, who's got himself stuck hanging on the railing with a bullet lodged in his chest.

The first act of this thriller is actually very well done, with a palpable sense of paranoia and desperation as Liam Neeson is trapped in a foreign city with memory loss. His wife refuses to recognize him, someone else is stealing his identity and convincing everyone else that he is the real Liam Neeson character, people are trying to kill him...
