Starring - Adrien Brody, Keira Knightley

"A Gulf War soldier is shot and dies during the conflict but returns to life to be sent to the an institution for the criminally insane for a crime he did not commit. Used unwillingly as a tester for a new method of cure, he is placed inside a strait jacket and coffin like drawer where he has trips that take him to a different dimension and time frame. Typical psychological thriller that chooses style over substance, and while the premise makes the film sounds originally elaborate, it is actually a very conventional time travelling mystery."

Thriller, USA/Germany
