(Guinea) pig starts with a crime vibe, evolves into a mystery thriller and ends as sci-fi. An interesting concept: are u willing to erase all pain, suffering and painful memories? Unfortunately the cover gives away already a big part of the plot. The remaining pieces are nicely arranged however I missed the punch.
Plot summary
A man wakes up alone in the middle of the desert with a black hood on his head and his hands tied behind his back. At death's door, he is discovered by a woman living alone in the desert and is nursed back to health. Upon regaining consciousness, the man realizes he has amnesia, and has no idea who he is. His only clue, a piece of paper in his pocket with the name "Manny Elder" on it, sends him on a journey to Los Angeles to discover his past. But things and people are not what they seem and clues lead to something bigger and more unusual than the man could have ever imagined.

Ambitious and intelligent yet only mildly captivating.
Memories
The opening of this film gives one a little hint about what this is actually about, but that hint is pretty subtle. This is an intriguing combination of an enjoyable mystery and some science fiction and it works pretty well helped immensely by the lead performance of Rudolf Martin an actor I've never heard of despite a long list of credits. This story of a man finds himself in the desert hooded with his hands zip tied without any idea why since he also discovers he has amnesia. It's pretty original and it ends in a somewhat unexpected way, though you might catch on a little earlier than that. I'm not sure if it was ever released theatrically in the USA or why it's called Pig, but I liked it.
