A Gulf War Veteran(Adrian Brody) is sent home after receiving some "head trauma" during the war. When he gets back to Vermont here in the U.S., he is accused of murder and sent to a aslyum. Why not jail? because he suffers some more "head trauma" during the the murder scene and does not remember a thing. So the courts find him insane. When he gets to the aslyum the doctor (Kris Kistofferson) throws a straight jacket on him and puts him in a "corpse drawer" in a morgue (minus the cold). He starts to see the future in the drawer (2007 what no robots?) and meets up with Keria Knightley (If I saw her I would stay in the drawer 24/7). She helps him try to solve the mystery of why he is killed in the aslyum back in 1992, by questioning the aslyum staff in the future.
The movie overall is a bit illogical, (seeing the future in a morgue drawer), and it supposed to be a a murder mystery, which I think it fails at (wait to you find out who the killer is) added to that their no real tension to find out who the killer is. The ending is bit to uplifting for me but some will like and did not destroy the entire movie. Theirs the sub plot between were the main charater tries to help out knightley get her life straight by fiddling with the past which I found more interesting than the the main plot.
With that I don't know why I liked this movie so much and will buy on DVD. Not because Knightely gets naked either. guess its a gulity pleasure.

Sounds like one studio's answer to another studio's ham-fisted remake of the Manchurian Candidate. Keira Knightly naked? I'm there.
