After a huge performance in the pianist and getting Oscar Brody struggled to capitalise on this success, appearing in mostly forgettable movies that failed to make use of his potential.Backtrack borrows ideas from a number of other films, including The Sixth Sense and Stir of Echoes, failing to improve on them in any measurable way.The story is very familiar and has many clichés. the two main characters on display share painfully contrived dialogue that prevents audiences from empathising with their grief.Luckily, though — at least for its own attorneys — "Backtrack" eventually moves beyond its shamelessly borrowed set-up to create a few chills of its own.Brody does his best even if it's awfully familiar. But the movie really doesn't stand up to further analysis. And unless Brody starts landing some better jobs soon, his career really doesn't stand a ghost of a chance.
