Anne (Rebecca Liddiard) has only come to the hospital for a sprained
ankle (or so she thinks), so why is it that she has to see a psychiatrist,
Dr. Atlas (Marina Sirtis), who's apparently the only one who can sign her
release papers? And how come Dr. Atlas asks Anne all these details about
her love life? And what's that cop, Detective Olson (Colin Ferguson),
doing at the hospital, desparate to question Anne? Slowly Anne starts to
remember, about her relationship to Tom (Andrew Creer), who at first was
her everything but who grew increasingly abusive over time, so much so
that she eventually ended the relationship - which left her heart-broken,
but it's not an explanation for her injury that's actually not a simple
sprained ankle but a serious gunshot wound. It's only eventually she
starts to remember a "confrontation" with a jogger (Randy
Wayne), whose earlier avances the had ignored and who has a bit of a
temper issue. But there's more to the story than that, and the more Anne
remembers the more painful it gets ... A very cleverly
structured thriller that manages to keep its mystery up until pretty much
the last scene, and even though hints are dropped ever so often that
there's more to the story than meets the eye it successfully refuses to
give away its game till very late. And a very solid ensemble playing
fleshed out and relatable characters keeps the film grounded, and the
audience caring about them. So in all pretty cool genre entertainment for
sure.
