       Wait, wait, wait, have I seen this?! I recognise the opening scene so much. Jake Gyllenhaal wakes up on a train across from a very friendly woman (Monaghan) who chats away with him as though they’re good friends, calls him Sean which isn’t his name and then there’s an enormous explosion and he wakes up and is being debriefed by an army captain (Farmiga) and then he’s sent back to find the bomber and then…

       I don’t remember what happens.

       It’s quite good. How could I possibly not remember it? Could I have only seen the beginning and then missed the rest for some reason?

       It’s worth seeing. Now I’ll remember it.
