Storyline

Clayton Pierce is an agent working under deep cover. Although he is a top agent, he is questioning his loyalty after twenty years of service. His devotion has already cost him his wife, family and personal life. During a de-briefing from his last assignment, he is unknowingly administered the drug Oblivion, which destroys brain cells causing permanent memory loss. Within a few days of injection, the drug's effects become irreversible. Clayton will not only lose his memory, he will lose his identity as well. He realizes he can no longer rely on anyone at the agency to help him, not even his boss, Agent LaNova. With nowhere left to go, he appeals to his ex-wife, Kate, for help. Clayton and Kate must locate the antidote before it's too late.

When reciting the contents of the cabinet on the wall to the Doctor, Clay says he is reading "top to bottom, left to right", but the six bottles of peroxide he mentions last of the things he recites are in the top left corner.

User Reviews

Yes it's that bad

Riddle: how do you make a good movie on a shoestring budget, with a worthless story line, an even worse screenplay adaptation, second class actors prompted to give third class performances, on surplus celluloid with no resolution or ability to render better than a gritty soundtrack of totally uninspired so-called music, with direction that totally misses what's going on, gets the sound wrong, the acting so totally inadequate and unbelievable - and which can still star Roy Scheider? Well Roy's the easy part: here's a talented actor who keeps getting these 'aces' and for all we know it's these turkeys he's got known for by now so he can't get any better.

But seriously: you know the feeling of fingernails on a blackboard? You've heard that one? Can you imagine what it feels like? The almost embarrassing discomfort of this Thanksgiving feast is far worse. You feel so sad for everyone and above all feel sorry for the total ineptitude of whoever the talentless people were who put this together.

Avoid this one at all costs and if your video outlet carries it - boycott them. No one should be subjected to this tripe.

Poor Roy. Poor everyone.
