2 titles that don't suit the film...while The Delphi Effect is slightly better for a title, it doesn't hold much to it.

A far better title would be "Mind Rape" or something more appealing tot he story.

Anyway, it's not a bad film - a little cheesy on the action and some scenes - but it entertains.

No huge intense story here, no massive action fight scenes - which would have helped.

This is the film's first review and quite possibly it's only one and it could have been a bit more mysterious - but it's far better than many I've seen this week.

Found this film under the title "Deadly Secrets" which is a more fitting title than any of the others. It's a standard espionage thriller all about the mad chase for money, which gives it a rather trivial character. There is however the interesting plot about the truth serum that is so efficient that the victim can but speak the truth for thirty minutes after which he irrepairably loses all his memory. This doesn't sound very realistic nor convincing, but as an idea for a thriller it is interesting. The girl in the film who is affected thus carries on as usual anyway, and when she is asked how she could act so professionally without a memory she blames it on her instinct. Robert Gant, the retired spy who is dragged back down into business, actually at one instant suspects her of just faking amnesia, and she does not respond quite satisfactorily. There is no psychological depth or interest here, the plot is stranded on the mad money chase, the brutal unnecessary murders also drag the film down to a sordid level, but there is action and suspense enough. The best scene is the introduction and the historical panorama that follows as the years pass.
