Netflix movie. Not high art, but pretty entertaining and watchable with lots of twists.

I saw the preview for this and added it to my list. Thanks for the review.

It looks like Flightplan (or Panic Room in the sky) but in a hospital.

Or Frantic (Harrison Ford, Roman Polanski, 1988) or Unknown (Liam Neeson) -

I'll check it out but the premise has been done to death.

Loved one goes missing and everyone around the protagonist acts like they never saw that person and tries to convince the protagonist they're crazy and that person doesn't exist...for whatever (insert plot twist reason.)

This one's a little different- but I won't give away anything.

I watched the trailer and added it to my list .... for some reason it gave me Coma (1978 Directed by Michael Crichton starring Michael Douglas) vibes.

BTW Coma was Tom Selleck's first appearance on the big screen if I remember correctly. He was the athlete with the knee injury that set the whole thing off.

The "twist" didn't make much sense based on the actions of the doctors and security the previous 110 minutes.

took me a second to realize you guys weren't talking about the Anthony Hopkins/Ryan Gosling movie. Was wondering what the hell y'all were talking about with the hospital stuff.

If you go by what we’ve seen for the past 90 min or so. How much of that was legit, and how much could be unreliable narration?

I only see benedict cumberbatch when I look at his wife

Imagery is pretty cool though. About 15 min in

Alright flick. Some fun twists that were a little predictable. An enjoyable watch though. Better than the typical Netflix film.

True.

But then that makes the movie a mess.

It was like they were trying to do a twist within a twist



Spoiler
























Everyone should have known what happened when they saw the blood at the construction site.

Spoiler














In the beginning when they are first going to the hospital there are shots where the backseat is completely empty. Only when showing him looking back is the family visible.

Movie was ok. I was interested at the whole mystery aspect but never at the edge of my seat. Kudos to the lead actor who acted his butt off in a mediocre movie. The type of plot had been done a few times so I like the payoff twist they put on it.

Also spoilers........ it makes sense from the doctors point of view to treat a guy for a concussion if he comes in to the hospital rambling about a wife and daughter who wasn’t with him. So indulging his fantasy kind of seemed odd.
