Trivia: Scenes of Adrien Brody sobbing in the body drawer were real, for he had asked director John Maybury to keep him locked in even when they weren’t filming so he could get the feel of the character’s despair. Eventually, Brody lost it during filming, and Maybury caught it on tape.
 

Goofs: Anachronisms: Footage and audio in the title sequence is taken from Apache gunship footage from the Iraq War, not Gulf I.
 

“The film centers on a wounded Gulf war veteran who returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia. He is hitching and gets picked up by a stranger, things go pear shaped when a cop pulls them over and is murdered by the stranger. The vet. is wrongly accused of killing the cop and lands up in an asylum. A quack doctor prescribes a course of experimental therapy, restraining him in a heavy duty straight jacket-like device, and locks him away in a body drawer of the basement morgue. During course of his treatment he gets flashbacks and visions of his future , where he can foresee he is to die in four days time. The catch is he doesn’t know how. Thus commences the classic race against time. Written by Austin4577@aol.com”
