Joe Merriwether (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), um agente especial do FBI, perplexo por uma série de homicídios, decide recorrer à ajuda do seu ex-colega, um analista civil e médico aposentado, Dr. John Clancy (Sir Anthony Hopkins). Após a morte da sua filha e subsequente dissolução do seu casamento, Clancy fechou o consultório e isolou-se do mundo, não querendo por isso envolver-se no caso, ou fazer uso as suas competências. Acaba por mudar de ideias ao ver as imagens perturbadoras e violentas da jovem e cética parceira de Joe, a agente especial do FBI Katherine Cowles (Abbie Cornish), seguidas daquilo que acredita ser uma mensagem pessoal. Quando os excecionais poderes intuitivos de Clancy o colocam no rasto de um suspeito, Charles Ambrose (Colin Farrell), o médico rapidamente se apercebe que as suas habilidades de pouco valem face aos poderes extraordinários deste assassino.

I felt like watching a decent mystery thriller that was basically butchered by the director. Starting with a shaky camera and ending with the director’s dictations proving that despite the movie’s mystery core, Anthony Hopkins’s clairvoyant abilities are strange. Touching a person and seeing his future or past is one thing but touching a strand of grass and seeing a whole scene from a few days ago is a little over the top. And that is coming from a person who usually enjoys this genre.

Huge potential and a fantastic cast. An original idea, but a deficient screenplay. The director is evidently cheap, his would-be modern approaches don’t suit the gloomy and mysterious nature of the story. If only someone like Fincher or Fukunaga had got their hands on this. Even so, it’s quite a pleasant watch and Hopkins is excellent as always.

It's quite nice, quite well thought out, as expected, because when you have such a plethora of actors there, and there are really plenty of them, you just can't come up with a stupid movie. However, two actors do stand out so much that they captivate you more than the story itself, which plays a bit with the audience. Anthony Hopkins and Colin Farrell prove their abilities.
