Synopsis: A man is wounded in the head while serving in the Gulf War and as a consequence his memory is affected. Back in the US he is accused of the killing of an officer but, since he can't remember anything about it, he is sent to a mental institution where he is submitted to a bizarre treatment that will cause him to experience an even more bizarre phenomenon.
Appraisal: This is a classic example of a bad screenplay. There are far too many loosely connected plot elements and characters. The central idea is said to be loosely based on a Jack London story called "The Star Rover", but here it acquires definitely sick undertones, such as the idea of escaping to another life. The final product is certainly polished in terms of camerawork, acting and whatnot; what lies beneath is flimsy at best and unhealthy at worst.
