...why did this movie get made? Who funded it? Was it some rich person's pet script that they desperately wanted to see get made?
The plot is the fairly standard cliche of someone having amnesia and trying to piece together who he is and why everyone is trying to kill him (eg Jason Bourne). It's a workable premise but that's the best thing I can say about this movie.
Josh Duhamel and Abbie Cornish are decent actors but I've never seen them in an action movie and it showed. Nick Nolte is brought out of retirement and should have been left to pasture. The rest are B-list including director Sam Macaroni who is apparently also known for different genres including National Lampoon and viral commercials.
The dialogue is terrible, the sets are low budget (the entire thing takes place in a hospital where multiple shootings take place yet everyone still just goes about their business like nothing is happening...oh and there is a drug lab in it too), the McGuffin that is the supposed focus of everyone's search is ridiculous, and the gunplay scenes are some of the worst ever shot. Bad guys with automatic weapons letting loose a hail of bullets from about 10 feet away from our hero, in a hallway, and nothing hits. Wow these guys are inaccurate.
I had to view it as satire just to make it through, but once I started to mock it and laugh it became more fun.
