    Storyline

    Edit
    Evan Birch is a family man and esteemed professor at a distinguished college, where his charm and reputation have made his philosophy class very popular. When a female student named Joyce goes missing, Evan's previous off-campus dalliances make his wife question his alibi. Gruff police Detective Malloy has even more reason to be suspicious when crucial evidence makes Evan the prime suspect in Joyce's disappearance. Suddenly, the questions Evan faces aren't merely academic - they're a matter of life or death.

    • Trivia
      The movie plot has a very strong resemblance to the Italian movie "La ragazza nella nebbia" (literally "the girl in the fog"). It looks like an American remake of it, but with a different ending.
    • Goofs
      The 1st thing the lead character says in the movie is that he is having memory problems . this is something that is constant throughout the movie but nobody thinks to take him to a doctor to find out why. could be a brain tumor, could be early onset Alsheimer's ? the audience never finds out . the thing is if the lead had been a woman someone would have cared enough to try. other than that an excellent movie . . .
    • Quotes

      Malloy: Take this little problem here on your board. The answer seems pretty plain to me.

      Evan Birch: Does it? Well, be my guest. Prove this chair exists.

      Malloy: What chair?

    Great acting, slow burner...
    I enjoyed the movie. In my opinion the writing was really good, and they tried to make it suspenseful but it wasn't very, in my opinion.

    Guy Pearce plays a college Philosophy professor who just so happens to own the same looking car as the last person seen before a young woman went missing. Or was it him? Pierce Brosnan is going to figure it out, as he's playing the homicide detective. Along the way, Guy's wife is trying to figure out if her husband could have really had anything to do with this.

    I don't have really anything bad to say about it, but it wasn't the best movie that Pearce or Pierce have ever been in, though they do act well together. I'd love to see them do another film together.

    This movie is a slow burner, it REALLY gave me sort of a "Memento" vibe while watching it. They probably could have made it better though, there was plenty of room for improvement. But like I said, I enjoyed it. Decent flick to pass a couple hours.
