action
An auction house is attacked by four robbers around the gang head Franck with the aim of stealing a valuable painting with an estimated minimum value of 25 million pounds during an auction. Franck is able to stop the auction manager, Simon Newton, from getting the painting to safety in time in the general chaos, and knocks him down. In the bag he steals from Simon, however, there is only the frame of the painting, the painting itself has been cut out. The gang then kidnaps Simon - who turns out to be their accomplice - in order to find out from him the hiding place of the painting by means of torture . However, he cannot remember because of the blow on the back of the head. Franck suggests sending Simon to a psychotherapist who should use hypnosis to resolve his amnesia. Simon gets to choose the therapist himself and chooses Elizabeth Lamb. Since she is not allowed to find out about the robbery, a misplaced car key is listed as a missing item. However, Elizabeth realizes that Simon is in danger and offers the robbers to try to restore Simon's memory in exchange for a share of the prey.
As it turns out, Elizabeth and Simon met a year and a half before the painting was stolen. He went to her back then to treat his gambling addiction. They fell in love and began a relationship, but Simon turned out to be unpredictable and violent, so Elizabeth had to decide to break off the relationship. Out of revenge, she hypnotized Simon's subconscious so that it should steal a valuable painting and bring it to her. She also let him forget her person and the relationship through hypnosis. What she hadn't planned and couldn't foresee was that Simon would get involved with Franck and his brutal gang, and that she herself would fall in love with Franck too.
In the final scenes, Elizabeth kills Simon, who in mental confusion had murdered and hidden an innocent woman during the attack, and flees with the painting. One day the injured gangster Franck received in the mail a tablet with a greeting video from Elizabeth, who now lives in an unknown place and cannot part with the picture because she “worked too hard for it”.

Reviews

"At the beginning, Boyle deceives a stringent heist thriller, but then pulls in double floors and consistently suspends any plot linearity. The triggering moment is the introduction of the main female character, who unexpectedly moves quickly from the edge of the story to the center of the narrative and immediately begins to dissolve it. The lonely therapist who has just been crying and honestly coming along, who at the beginning apparently only holds the strings in her hand thanks to her professional skills, turns out to be a cool calculating femme fatale. "
“While the petty-bourgeois decals 'Trainspotting' (1996) and 'Better to live unusually' (1997) drowned the desolation in drug escapades and hopeful amorality, Danny Boyle expands the horror cabinet of disgust in 'trance' with riddled genitals and not just in the figurative sense of headless bullies . The camera hangs terribly at an incline, and the pointed light from the glass fronts shimmers towards its own meaningless symbolism, which Boyle transforms into the usual intoxicating aestheticism with pregnant melodrama. "
“Good and bad, true and false are no longer reliable quantities, and every perception is open in all directions to manipulation and suggestion, to lies and self-deception, to sensuality and desire. Then the weapons of a woman come into play, who for the first time in a Danny Boyle film is the central figure, the secret engine of this disturbing story to the end. "
