Didn't sleep at all. Well...almost, but it wasn't Crowe's fault. Somehow, I don't know how, he keeps me focused with a movie that its end is almost too easy to predict and it is kind of a mashup between cheep version of "Memento" with a "whodunit" genre film and a sprinkle of Neo Noir above - you get Crowe and a fine cast keeping you hanging on.
A man with Alzheimer, which can't remember dick about his life or what to do in the morning, finds the strength and mind clearness in order that he will be able to run an old case from his past as a detective. A lot of the movie's logic doesn't add up, but somehow, this old school thriller gets you. Well he got me.
Russell Crowe is not making appearances on big caliber movies, but somehow, he is not crashing and burning in his mediocre movies and almost also gives a solid performance, like this one; this time he is wrapped with great actors, that gives him good support, though the script isn't consistent at its level.
Adam Cooper isn't a Hollywood big director name, but he manages to survive the scene and collaborate once again with Crowe (their previous time was at "Exodus: Gods and Kings") and almost justify the work with big names like: Crowe, Karen Gillan, Tommy Flanagan and even Marton Csokas.
The final result is a mystery thriller that keeps the viewers engaged, though at most of the time it seems that the end is pretty predictable and Cooper copy-pasted a lot of pf the plot development from larger scale movies, somehow he makes it all work in a pretty forgettable solid movie.
