Not a confusing film, but an intriguing one. Viewers learn more and more, and in the end everything is wrapped up and nothing is left without explanation.
Early on it calls to mind The Lady Vanishes (1937)...but it is different than that. Later on it calls to mind, to some degree, Jacob's Ladder (1990), but it is not that film either. There are aspects that almost seem surreal, until we gradually learn what is going on - there is a definite resolution; this is not like the stereotype of a David Lynch film.
A good suspense film that deals with memory and identity and their unravelling as a mystery.
Lara Flynn Boyle is especially attractive here: softer and not as extremely, frighteningly thin as she has been recently.
