The box claims the name of the main character is Steven. In the movie his name is Fred Hill. The movie starts off with Fred or Steven (LDP) coming to, after being hung upside down by his foot in a tree. He has blood on his head and a knife falls from his belt. The rope breaks and LDP is on the ground with a bum knee and no memory on how he got where he was, who did this to him, or if they are still around. So what does he do? He shouts for help. Then when he hears someone coming in his direction (apparently the reason why he was shouting) he takes off running in the opposite direction. The man, Andy, who catches up with him has a gun, and LDP has no memory. They walk through the woods, with LDP being bullied at gun point, looking for the two story "cabin" with LDP getting bits and pieces of his memory back as they stroll along. His memory is confusing as sometimes he sees himself, then sometimes he sees Andy doing the exact same thing. Most of the film is taken up by the stroll in the woods with flashbacks. When they finally get to the cabin, you can't wait for the movie to end. By that point I really couldn't care who did what. No nudity. No sex. Not much plot. Bad language. Unless you are related to LDP, there is no reason to watch this film.

Never Again opens with poor Lou Diamond Phillips hanging from a trapper's noose by one leg and then falling down and not remembering anything about how he might have gotten there. Along comes Kris Holden- Ried bearing a weapon and accusing Lou of being a murderer, specifically of his wife. The two then tramp through the woods with Holden-Ried holding a gun on Phillips who can't remember anything, but like Gregory Peck in Mirage, bits and pieces start coming back.Would that this film which was shot in Canada standing in for the woods of Northern Michigan was half as good as Mirage. After a while you're starting not care who might have done what. The ending however is a surprise of sorts and in a real minor key, no dramatic climaxes here.Lou mistook a Canadian goose and wound up with a Canadian turkey.

This is a boring movie, with an incredulously boring plot, where two characters rambled and bitching about each other throughout the movie. And the tagline gives the film away, I found out about the twist after watching it for 10 minutes.This is a kind of film in which you could just doze off and woke up at the end of the film and still know what's happened in the film. It was expected, the dialogs cheesy, the plot leaving much to be desired.However, I've to give credit for the twist at the end of the film, I thought it was brilliant and original. It's been awhile seen I've seen main character as the villain, and I've seen it now.All in all, not a great movie, but watchable.

Watched this one morning instead of going to class. It's an easy watch and somewhat enjoyable, although there are certainly better films of this genre to watch. THIS FILM IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE LEONARD NEMOY MOVIE OF THE SAME NAME.Our main character, Frank, wakes up in the forest with amnesia, along with a man who, at gunpoint, accuses Frank of murdering a group of people. The psychological thriller expounds from this point, as Frank's recollections throughout the movie distort and become almost nonsensical.I enjoyed the movie for what it was. It's worth watching on cable if it comes around and worth renting, just for the sake of wanting to watch a thriller without thinking too hard.
