Interesting movie.
A guy (Vincent) is being investigated by the police, decides to murder his brother (Clay), in the hope the police will misidentify the corpse and cease their investigation.
He is ultimately unsuccessful, However Clay is left maimed and suffering from amnesia. The people immediately involved with Vincent nurse Clay back to health, as they were unaware of the switch of identity, they are now under the impression Clay is actually Vincent. Of course Clay suffering from amnesia knows no different and unknowingly adopts Vincent's identity, and thus also inheriting his brothers misfortunes.
One thing to be noted, Clay and Vincent look nothing alike, they're not even the same race. This is never commented on during the movie, and the other characters interactions are as if they were cast as identical twins. This is obviously done intentionally, and i found it an interesting touch.
It has some "trippy" sequences, ive seen it compared to Hitchcocks style of film making, and id say that was an accurate comparison. Its entirely black and white, and i feel it really lends itself well to some nice cinematography.
I enjoyed it.
