Overview

Michael Jennings is a genius who's hired – and paid handsomely – by high-tech firms to work on highly sensitive projects, after which his short-term memory is erased so he's incapable of breaching security. But at the end of a three-year job, he's told he isn't getting a paycheck and instead receives a mysterious envelope. In it are clues he must piece together to find out why he wasn't paid – and why he's now in hot water.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sleek, high-concept thriller where a man with no memory must piece together cryptic clues to survive. It's gadget-forward fun that prioritizes momentum and twist-heavy plotting over character depth.
