Dispite of this problem, he is resolute in finding his partner´s killer and revenge her.
The film received numerous accolades, including the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2001 Sundance Festival. Apart from being met with positive reviews from critics, this thriller was also well-praised by scientific community, a lot of experts consider that the depiction of the amnesia is very accurate and realistic.
