Joe Bergvall and Simon Sandqvist. These 2 people are Oscar nominated directors for their short film Victor and made one of my favourite movies with Den Osynlige. I haven't seen Victor (yet) but this is the only other film of theirs that I know I can see.The plot of this movie is that Ryan and Roman are brothers. Ryan seems to have everything a wife named Jess (Sarah Michelle Gellar) who loves him dearly and aside from kids their lives could not be more perfect. Roman on the other hand is a self-loathing jailbird with a "girlfriend" in the loosest possible term named Casey (Tuva Novotny). One day they both are in a car crash on a foggy day. Once Roman wakes up he has delusions that he is Ryan and has his memories. Is this a trick that Roman is pulling up his sleeve? or did their bodies really get swapped somehow?The biggest problem with this movie is that Jess seems to believe that Roman is Ryan pretty quickly. To her, her husband being in her brother-in-law's body (or so she thinks) doesn't even seem like a big problem once they form a relationship. It is actually pretty awkward to watch when you look at some of those scenes.The concept for this movie is actually pretty good. I know it is a remake of a South Korean film called "Addicted" and from what I have heard it does explore the topic a little better so i am going to watch that. What they did here was actually good but I feel with the concept it could have been more.Now onto other technical aspects. The acting is actually well done. I wanted to see Tuva Novotny in other things and she doesn't really show her acting ability (if you really want to see her play someone troubled - look at Den Osynlige, it might be hard to find but it's worth it) but you can't have everything, Sarah Michalle Gellar does a good job even if the writing is very sketchy in terms of pacing and Lee Pace does do a good job at basically being a scumbag one minute and the next being a man trying to convince his brother's wife that he is her husband.So is this worth a look? In my eyes it is. I mean yes, there are problems like why she didn't suspect the twist to happen (it actually wasn't that hard to work out) and that she believes Roman is Ryan almost with the drop of a hat but this movie does get you questioning a bit and the concept is actually pretty good. So if you like this sort of thing then I would recommend it.

Canadian-lensed remake of what I assume was originally an Asian thriller, about a woman whose loving husband and brutish brother in law end up in comas after a car accident. The husband remains in a coma, while the brother in law eventually comes to, claiming to be his brother and husband of the distraught woman. He seems to know many intimate details about her married life so that she eventually accepts him as her husband, with his soul transferred (the same plot was used on "Ghost Whisperer"). From there, it's all downhill. Is this a supernatural thriller? The answer is no, based on the cut and dried ending. It's certainly suspenseful part of the way, but it is too easy to guess the ending based on various clues thrown at us during the story This is Gellar's film all the way, with able support from Lee Pace as the brother in law. It's perfect for a quiet Saturday night. Just don't expect too much.

I expected this movie to be a lot better than it actually was and I think that's probably due to the fact that Sarah Michelle Gellar was in it and I love pretty much everything that she is in, but this movie was just terrible. It was boring and there really wasn't that much to the plot and the characters all kind of bored me and didn't seem to have much depth to them at all. I also don't think much really happened and it just seemed really, really unrealistic to me most of the time. The only reason I've given the movie a 3 out of 10 is due to the fact that Sarah Michelle Gellar was in it and I think that's the only reason I actually even bothered to finish the movie.

I haven't seen the Original Asian movie this is based on, but I am pretty sure, that I would like that more than the Remake I have seen. I'm pretty sure it is more subtle and has better character arcs. Not that the actors are bad in this, but as someone else wrote in a magazine: Seems like Sarah M. Gellars career has gone AWOL, since Buffy ended. And this movie won't bring her career back.It's a nice little psycho thriller, that tries to stay ambiguous, but you might know where this is going, without me or anyone else telling you about it. There's still a chance you might like it more than some other people, but also a very good chance you might not like it at all. There's better thrillers out there, but you could pick a worse movie. If you are a fan of Sarah M. Gellar, you might wanna give it a try ... also if you like thriller movies in general (with a touch of supernatural thrown in for good measure). Everyone else should stay clear of this
