Plots(1)
When FBI Special Agent Joe Merriwether is unable to solve a series of homicides, he decides to enlist the help of his former colleague Dr. John Clancy, a retired physician with psychic powers. The reclusive Clancy, who shuttered his practice and retreated from the world following the death of his daughter and subsequent break-up of his marriage, wants nothing to do with the case. He soon changes his mind after seeing disturbingly violent visions of Joe's partner, FBI Special Agent Katherine Cowles's ultimate demise. When Clancy's exceptional intuitive powers put him on the trail of a suspect, Charles Ambrose, the doctor soon realizes his abilities are no match against the extraordinary powers of this vicious murderer on a mission.

It's such a great, quite well-thought-out, which is somewhat expected because when you have such a variety of actors, and there are really plenty of them, you can't just come up with a bad movie. However, two actors stand out so much that they captivate you more than the story itself, which plays with the viewer a bit. Anthony Hopkins and Colin Farrell prove their abilities.

I felt like watching a decent mystery thriller that was basically butchered by the director. Starting with a shaky camera and ending with the director’s dictations proving that despite the movie’s mystery core, Anthony Hopkins’s clairvoyant abilities are strange. Touching a person and seeing his future or past is one thing but touching a strand of grass and seeing a whole scene from a few days ago is a little over the top. And that is coming from a person who usually enjoys this genre.

Huge potential and a fantastic cast. An original idea, but a deficient screenplay. The director is evidently cheap, his would-be modern approaches don’t suit the gloomy and mysterious nature of the story. If only someone like Fincher or Fukunaga had got their hands on this. Even so, it’s quite a pleasant watch and Hopkins is excellent as always.
