***SPOILERS*** Mind numbing movie that's a lot like that 1991 brain twister "Shattered" about not exactly knowing who you are with Tom Berenger and Greta Scacchi.

Steve knows the secret to his wife's problems but keeps it from her in order that Alison doesn't suffer another nervous breakdown that after she suffered her first one that almost had her institutionalized over a year ago.It when Alison has a miner fender-bender that her mind or memory starts to recover and glimpse of her past start to come into focus. Going to see a cardiologist Dr.Jennifer Prasad,to check out her heart condition and the medication she's taking for it Alison discovers that there's nothing at all wrong with her ticker but that there's, in the drugs her husband is giving her, something very wrong with her brain! In that it's being kept from thinking in what happened to her to put Alison in the condition that she now finds herself in now!***SPOILERS*** Hard to take Lifetime mystery movie that manipulates the audiences' brains like it does it's major character Alison Morgan's true identity. An identity that's being totally obliterated by her "loving" and "cearing" husband Steve who in fact need far more help in his own severe mental problems than she does! It's when Alison realizes that she's in fact not who she is, Alison Morgan,that she hired private detective Michael Woods, Jack Kruegher,to check out both her and Steve's past which ends up leading to his murder. To even things out gender wise the nosy Dr.Prasad also ends up getting it by uncovering the fact that Alison is being chemically brainwashed to keep her from remembering her dark past that her husband Steve is doing everything possible, even contemplating a lobotomy, to keep her from remembering!Watching this movie you feel as if your being brainwashed into thinking that it's outrageous and totally unbelievable plot makes any sense in the real or even world, the movies, of make believe. But as hard as you try to make some sense out of it the more you begin to realize just how senseless it is.

This film draws you in quickly. Although I felt sure that I knew what the basic plot elements were, I was wrong. The acting was above-average and the ending was quite surprising. Just when you think you know what the ending will be, it takes another turn--almost a prerequisite for Lifetime Movies! However, I found the plot to be a bit unbelievable. I don't think it was very realistic, but it didn't detract from the movie too much, as you might expect. I enjoyed this film because it kept up a good pace throughout and kept me guessing. I never once looked at the clock, wondering how much longer I had to endure. I was entertaining three different possible endings for this film, almost right up until the last few minutes. All in all, it was not a bad way to spend a couple of hours on a cold winter's night.

Okay, let me start off by saying the way this movie was made and drawn together made it a very highly addicting film to watch. At first, it may appear to be an overly happy movie, but it does take a dark turn towards the middle.Though my only compliant would be within the first five minutes my mother and I were sitting watching it and guessed the entire plot to it without even looking at the description of the movie. So yes, it is highly predictable, but the plot is so interesting and rare that you will love it.But don't expect any surprises.Though the ending is surely got its "lifetime movie" vibe to it, the rest is very good and suspenseful.I give it a 8/10 and that says a lot!

This starts out kind of silly -- one can't believe that the life of leading character Alison Morgan (Meredith Monroe) can possibly be as happy and contented as is shown in the first, rather saccharine 20 minutes -- but as the film progresses it gains strength and power. Alison finds out that her "amnesia" is actually a cover-up for some dark secrets in her own past and that of her husband Steve (a nicely understated performance by Ari Cohen). It's a pretty obvious variation on "Gaslight" but within the confines of that classic thriller trope Paul A. Birkett's script is refreshingly inventive and original, and John Terlesky's direction is straightforward and avoids some of the obvious visual clutter other Lifetime directors have indulged in in an attempt to be "creative." Lifetime ran this just before the 2007 version of "Sybil" probably because they're both stories about mentally discombobulated women, but I found this one considerably more entertaining.
