Rufus Sewell plays the man in the bath, the alleged murderer, whose memories have been ransacked. William Hurt plays the detective, who recognises that certainty is an illusion, like so much else. Jennifer Connelly plays the wife, who has an indelible beauty and a desperate desire. Kiefer Sutherland overplays the shrink, who helps the aliens in their souls search, only to realise too late that they represent evil beyond belief. The film inhabits that place you think you recognise, a noir pastiche sci-fi designer gloryhole, where the cut price miracle is a Saturday night babe with Tuesday morning eyes.
Nothing is as nothing was.
