'Asylum' didn't have a hard time selling me on giving it a go. A big Robert Patrick fan after T2, I'd sit thru any of his DTV titles available. Having played 'Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger' at the time, I also enjoyed that Malcolm McDowell was involved.
A private detective (Patrick) with his own mental baggage enters an insane asylum / mental hospital undercover in the hopes of getting to the bottom of who murdered his doctor friend. Of course it was labeled a suicide, but he believes differently. Amongst the patients is the cooky Doc Rane (McDowell).
Things proceed pretty much as you expect dealing with mental crazy business and an obvious red herring. The air of believability isn't high, but there is adequate atmosphere. If your a fan of either actor it's an okay watch. Debra Wilson (of MadTV) makes a brief appearance as well.
