This is one of the most exciting films I've ever seen. It's a
perfect mix of action, suspense and mystery. I can't believe that I've waited
13 years before watching it again. How could I forget a film like this?
Dr. Martin Harris, an American biotechnology professor played by Liam Neeson,
travels to Berlin with his wife for a scientific conference. On arriving at
the hotel he realises that he forgot to pick up one of his suitcases from the
airport, so he leaves his wife behind to take a taxi back to the airport. On
the way he's involved in a traffic accident and is in a coma for four days. He
returns to the hotel as quickly as possible. His wife doesn't recognise him.
She's in the company of another man who claims to be her husband. He can't
prove who he is because he lost all his papers in the accident. The
stranger doesn't just have papers to prove who he is, he also knows all about
his scientific work.
Eventually Martin begins to think he's crazy and returns to the hospital for
treatment, but while he's there someone tries to kill him, and even kills the
nurse who tries to protect him. This makes him sure that something is
happening, so he hires a private detective to prove that he really is who he
thinks he is.
Although the film is in English, most of the cast are top German actors such
as Bruno Ganz, Sebastian Koch and Diane Kruger. This is a brilliant film, and
the final explanation will come as a a total surprise. The viewers will also
feel the terror of being lost in a foreign country with no identification and
being denied by your wife and friends.
