Synopsis: James McAvoy plays an art auctioneer whose plan to help a gang steal an expensive painting results in him losing memory and with it, its location, in this head-turning thriller from dir. Danny Boyle.

Aroview: The story rattles along like an express train, bouncing between genres and time periods until the whole thing is a confusing mess. Which is actually a good thing because the more of the plot you unravel the less substance you actually find and it pays not to think too much about all the holes. A wickedly modern ride - and the twists should keep you interested to very end - but I’m sorry to say that it’s only minor Boyle. ~ Dan Slevin
