Good suspense

This is a film about a doctor trying to help one of her amnesic patients to regain memory, only to discover that the patient had done some very terrible things in the past. This in turn lead to the discovery of a political murder plot over 20 years ago.

I liked this film. The story was good, because it kept the viewers in a mood of suspense. The answer to the mystery was solved bit by bit. As the answers came, new questions arose. There was a constant search for answers, which kept the viewers occupied. There was suspense throughout the film, because they had to escape from some mysterious killers who wanted to kill them.

I also thought that the acting was good. The amnesic man performed well, and the female doctor behaved professionally like a real doctor. In her role she was a caring doctor, and I thought she was able to play her part well. She was determined to find out the truth about why this patient lost his memory. I particularly liked the bit about her losing a friend in an explosion. She displayed her emotions in a realistic way.

However, there was one bit of the film which I found not so good. When the amnesic man saw on the newspaper that a man got killed in a bar, he immediately went to phone the army commander. He said that he was "Moor", and that he knew that the army commander killed the man in the bar. If the patient really had amnesia, how could he remember the phone number all of a sudden? How could he remember that he was "Moor"? In addition, this phone call and the code name "Moor" was not mentioned again in the rest of the film. Whether he did not remember it in the rest of the film, or the director chose to not to mention it again, I do not know. However, if the director chose not to mention the code name "moor" in the first place?

Anyway, this is only a very minor point. I still liked the film and thought that the film was thrilling.
