Pierce Brosnan is investigating the disappearance of a local cheerleader. His prime suspect is philosophy Professor Evan Birch (Guy Pearce). Birch has two issues. One is his infidelity with his students and the second is his faulty memory that remembers things that may or may not have happened. His wife,kids, and university are not excited about what is going on either.
Birch is an overly flawed character...maybe. He was not that interesting of a character and as our protagonist, we never knew what to feel because like Evan, we didn't know what was happening, which was the point of the film. This is a different type of mystery where there is only one suspect and he doesn't know if he committed a crime or not. I would think this would be a better book than movie.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
