Trance

Fine art auctioneer Simon (McAvoy), in league with a gang led by underworld boss Franck (Cassel), plots the audacious theft of a masterpiece by Goya from a major public auction. When Simon double-crosses the gang during the robbery, Franck retaliates violently and knocks him unconscious.  In the aftermath of the heist, Simon sticks stubbornly - and perhaps shrewdly - to his claim that the violent trauma has left him with no memory of where he stashed the artwork.  Unable to coerce the painting's location from Simon, Franck and his associates reluctantly join forces with a charismatic hypnotherapist (Dawson) in a bid to get him to talk. But as they journey deeper into Simon's jumbled psyche the boundaries between reality and hypnotic suggestion begin to blur and the stakes rise faster and far more dangerously than any of the players could have anticipated. 

This was a very smart and edgy movie.  McAvoy, Cassel and Dawson all put forth great performances and kept you totally dialed in to where the story was going to go and unsure of who you could trust.  The tension throughout the movie and how it was intertwined with emotions of love, anger, betrayal, etc was very well done.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was a very entertaining watch.
