Ida (Tuva Novotny), wakes up in a river in France. She has head injury, amnesia, stitches on her side, and a duffel bag full of money. Oh yes, a local politician has just been killed too. Ida speaks and thinks in French, but the locals claim her accent is not French. Sounds like a fairy decent Bourne mystery.The second half hour she discovers who she is, her husband (Flemming Enevold), and siblings. It seems there are a couple of bad guys after her.After an hour her memory comes back all at once and the rest of the film ties everything together.A good mystery eases out clues so the audience can solve the mystery before it is revealed. This one gives you clues as she attempts to find out who she is, but the story is so disjointed, it only adds to the mystery. There is no partial memory recovery feeding us tidbits of clues, it comes all at once.The film is in 3 languages with English subscripts. Ida, as the main character grew boring as the film progressed. For those who like a complex mystery, this is certainly one of them, but I just didn't find it as entertaining as the hype.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

At first, I thought this one might be like the great "Memento," but about halfway through it turned into an episode of "24," more or less, and became more of an action film rather than a mystery/thriller. Everything gets "wrapped up" neatly at the end, though with a few "good" (or somewhat good) characters getting killed along the way to add that touch of tragedy so that it wouldn't feel too "light." Overall, there's really nothing about it that would lead me to think that it was worth my time. If you are bored and want to keep your mind occupied for an hour and a half or so, sure, go ahead and watch it. But it's like the kind of meal you enjoy though you find that a bit more than an hour later you are hungry again. Don't expect any great insights into human psychology or the "human condition" here, that's for sure!

I really loved it. Not quite original scenario, but the story is told in a great manner and the whole movie is stylish and excellent shot with attentiveness to detail. The plot is integral and free from inconsequential elements, seen in so many thrillers. The acting is good and I especially liked the main actress Tuva Novotny - she really makes a difference. Her character is well evolved, something also rare in these so called "thrillers". And it's evolving even in the long flashback scene when you're realizing she's getting her memory back. Yes, I definitely loved this film, it has something very human in the savor of the good old movies. And the end of the film is delicate and charming and you're tempted to smile together with the main heroine.

The old "I lost my memory and horrible things happened" scenario. It has been used quite a few times and the guys behind this, do a decent enough job to keep the tension high. At least that's true for most of the time. The movie sort of breaks when we get the flashback scene (that is way too long for it's own good and is not the only thing that loses its touch with internal logic).The female lead is decent too, but her motivation can be annoying at best some times. You have to bear with that character, otherwise you'll loose interest pretty fast. Coincidences and other things help this movie move along with a nice pace. All in all average, you'll have to decide, if this is something you're interested in
