One can notice the impact of 'Fight Club' and 'The Sixth Sense' has had on modern day movie writers & directors by the slew of movies about alter egos and the ones with the dramatic twist in the tale thats been staring at the viewer. But not all of them manage to carry that kind of effect - simply because the comparison to its inspiration proves excessively burdensome.

Here, Ewan Mcgregor is a short-trouser, short- socks wearing psychologist who gets slowly drawn into his patient's (Ryan Gosling) life. Slowly losing his life and distancing himself from Naomi Watts, his fiance. A reasonably well-made thriller that keeps you wondering whats going on - but somehow, as one suspects, does not hit the high notes one expects.
