ALIAS (2002)

Danish director Jan Verheyen gets his thriller off to a good start with a swift, deadly car crash prologue & a surprise suicide by a leggy blonde, witnessed & taped by two girls visiting town who also just taped an attempted car robbery. These three lines of action begin to merge into a tight & twisty tale of lunatics, asylums & villainous medicos when the film suddenly/fatally lurches overboard into a series of scarifying fake-outs that miss and psychopathetic (sic) stupidity that you just won’t buy.
