Before I Go to Sleep(15)
Starring Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth, Mark Strong
A few months back I caught TV movie with Zack Levi and Alexis Bledel featuring the exact same condition. The guy had a proper system worked out to bring him up to date every day and the film played like a rom-com. I found myself wondering how Kidman could possibly have NOT done something similar and thinking what I would do. Kidman's character is rather too passive for me, relying on these untrustworthy blokes when surely she could have developed some strategies of her own!! However, there are some enjoyable plot twists and turns and the slightly saccharine ending is perhaps payback for some rather nasty and shocking brutality. Decent entertainment.
7/10
