       Big-time art thefts. Auctions with maximum security. Simon (McAvoy) tells us all about it.

       A Goya selling for millions. Enter Franck (Cassel). Simon is struck on the head. He can’t remember what he did with the painting. Franck is not well pleased.

       They try hypnosis. Enter Elizabeth (Dawson), a renowned psychologist and hypnotist. Complications ensue.

       This is one of those films where you don’t know what’s real and what isn’t. It’s very unlikely but the cast is appealing. Especially, of course, McAvoy.
