After reading all the excellent reviews I gave the film a shot. Okay, it was a decent movie. If you allow yourself to buy the daughters ability to somehow telepathically see her fathers memories and then draw them, yea it is a decent movie and propels the movie towards its dramatic but still somewhat lacking finale. I just couldn't buy it. It seemed to me like it was part "A History of Violence(2005)" with a son inheriting his fathers killer instinct thru observation as well as DNA(?)(a more plausible story IMO), and other times like so many other movies about memory loss, like Momento. The whole movie depended on the young girl and her drawings and that was too big a leap for me. Good acting, but not Oscar level by no means, good sequencing and good music but a story hard to buy.
