Directed and co-written by Alex Proyas, a former music video-director, it is not like other movies. It begins with John Murdoch awakening in a bathtub, covered in blood. He has no recollection of what has happened, but is urged by a telephonecall from Dr. Daniel Schreber to flee, as someone is after him. Soon Murdoch is pulled into a web of mystery and must piece his memories together as he finds clues.
The 103 minutes are a very exciting time, and one is on the edge of his seat until the very end.
Rated R for violence and sexuality.
