Review by clanciai

This is surprisingly good for being a thriller with Robert Urich, whose thrillers tend to be rather slow and heavy and far-sought in their intrinsic psychological plots, but this one is a masterpiece. Urich himself as the lead makes a splendid performance of convincing anguish constantly exacerbated by the stress and treatment he is subject to as he is totally at a loss without a memory and dangerously susceptible to any form of manipulation in extreme vulnerability, but he plays the part with astonishingly convincing power, especially as he even himself starts doubting his own sanity and reliability. The film is cleverly written with great twists to a tricky tale, and you'll never suspect when the next shock will attack you from behind. There are some inconsistencies of course, the writer and director has to be able to trick his audience sometimes to stress some effects, but in spite of all the messy blind alleys it ultimately all makes sense. This is the best Robert Urich film I have seen.
