Final

This week, my suggestion is the 2001 cerebral thriller Final.
-
It's about a man who wakes up in a hospital babbling that he's from another time. He's suffering from delusions and flashbacks of an auto accident.
-
It stars Denis Leary. Yes, THAT Denis Leary - comedian and usually bad actor. But in Final he shows that he actually can act!
-
And it's a good thing. This movie is driven on atmosphere, dialogue and acting. This isn't an edge-of-your-seat thriller like The Sixth Sense. It doesn't have the big payoff like The Sixth Sense, and it's not as good (how many are?). But it is intriguing enough that I recommend seeing it.
