John Hutton (a fine and likeable performance by Timothy Davis) wakes up one day with no memory of who he is, but somehow has acquired the ability to speak dozens of languages fluently. John teams up with his private detective brother-in-law Carl (superbly played by Matthew St. Patrick) to uncover the secret of his true past identity.

Director Justin Foia relates the compelling story at a constant pace, adroitly crafts an intriguing aura of mystery, grounds the premise in a plausible everyday reality, and builds a good deal of tension. The smart script by Justin and Timothy Foia offers a potent and provocative exploration on the themes of redemption, second chances, and the moral consequences of big companies doing scientific experiments on society's most disposable and undesirable people. Davis makes for a strong and sympathetic protagonist; he receives sound support from Tatyana Ali as John's sweet and concerned wife Rachel, Mira Sorvino as a cold business-like corporate executive, Aaron Farb as the jittery Lucas, Anne Leighton as angry felon Emmaline, Faithe Herman as John's adorable daughter Jordan, Stacey Oristano as the grief-stricken Hollie, Steven Swadling as paranoid former prison warden George Hayes, and Josh Crotty as despicable racist biker Cage. The uncompromisingly downbeat ending packs a devastating punch. A real sleeper.

So here we have the story of man who wakes up and doesn't remember who he is. John Hutton. He does however remember how to speak 37 languages. Earns 2 PHDs in languages.

And he teaches, and a guy approaches him in his classroom and says You're the language guy? I'm the numbers guy. Another guy that doesn't recall who he is but he knows a lot of math.

After finding out he's had extensive facial reconstruction that he does not remember, he goes to talk to the Numbers guy in his motel. Numbers guy puts a gun to his head and pulls the trigger. So what is going on here? What is Hutton involved in??

So Hutton starts looking into this numbers guy. He runs into other people searching Numbers' motel room. He starts working with his Bro in Law to find out who he is.

They run into some white supremacists. They find out that Hutton used to be a criminal who is listed as DEAD. So what happened to him?? He has visions of ripping or cutting up rabbits .

As they get closer to the truth, talking to Hutton's ex warden etc, Hutton has more flashbacks, more memories, and headaches.

Then finally he finds out that he was a test subject, and programmed to self terminate aka suicide. Just like the others. Apparently these super powers of memory for languages and numbers and such was an unintended side effect of these experiments that were conducted on death row inmates. REPROGRAMMING, The Executive, Mira Sorvino, calls it.

And at the end, COP BRO IN LAW hands over all the evidence and recorded audio that Hutton got, and the plot is exposed.

This really is just a simple story that has been done before .. Nothing really new. It was pretty well acted and well shot / directed etc but really nothing better than average. 5/10

Great independent film that feels and looks amazing. Good music , excellent pacing , intriguing plot and good acting. Plenty of thought provoking content to keep a conversation going long after the movie is over. If you like Cerebral Thrillers with twist and turns this is for you. Hope to see more films like this in the near future.
