Michael Jennings is a genius who is hired (and paid handsomely) by high-tech companies to work on highly sensitive projects, after which his short-term memory is erased so that he is incapable of breaching security. But at the end of a three-year job, he is told that he will not be receiving a paycheck and instead receives a mysterious envelope. Inside it are clues that he must piece together to figure out why he was not paid and why he is now in trouble.

Film reviews:
- Rob: Oh my god, this movie is pretty bad. There are a lot of faces in it, but none of them could save this mess. Which is a shame, because it could have been a really intense and exciting movie in the hands of another director. Instead, it feels like a made-for-TV movie. John Woo’s direction is mediocre and cliché, the editing is lame, and the soundtrack is overwrought, inappropriate, and downright intrusive.
