Massey_456 This universe is full of mind boggling questions - Is there a higher force controlling our destiny, or are we at the mercy of nothing but science? Is there Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence out there in this vast universe, or is Life on Earth nothing but a glitch, an accidental heartbeat in the otherwise dead vacuum of space? How has Alec Baldwin made a career as an actor?Let it never be said that I dislike Alec Baldwin - Au Contraire, I have the highest respect and admiration for a man who, with a deficit of both looks and talent, has forged a living in the most vacuous and saturated industry in the world. Alec Baldwin wakes up from an accident and cant remember anything. The plot then dallies around a bit, before coming to an ending so ridiculous, you wonder if the screenwriters had a dare to see how absurd they could make the movie before the execs said 'NO'. Al dresses in a tux and fires a gun at one point, but that scene doesn't really fit with the movie. I have a sneaking suspicion that he forced a clause into his contract that went something like. 'During one scene, Alec Baldwin gets to dress sharp and fire a gun and do some cool action moves like jumping from a window or Kung Fu the baddie'. I imagine he wrote the clause with James Bond, Bourne or Scarface in mind - Cool, suave, Deadly. Well, whatever the clause was, it didn't work. Alec Baldwin plays a James Bond character so awkwardly, you actually think he is English. I mean really awkward. At one point I genuinely thought he was going to apologise to the baddie for shooting at him. This is a bad version of Unknown, which in turn is a bad version of The Bourne Identity. In fact, In the hierarchy of Amnesia movies, Second Nature is a Lowly Peasant, Living hand-to-mouth in a windowless cellar apartment located behind a noisy train station . The best that can be said in this analogy is that at least it hasn't hit rock bottom. It has a short fall to go before it is the homeless tramp, hanging out in public toilets and offering sexual favours in return for a swig of scrumpy. Oh yes, this memory-loss movie is not '50 first Dates'.After the movie, I reeled off a number of questions that the movie raised and never answered. I would repeat the list here but I only have 1000 words. The amount of questions this movie creates are only outnumbered only by the amount of clichés that it crams in. From the scene at a high society ball, where the villain looks down from a balcony at the carefree guests, to the Rocky Balboa Training montage, where Baldwin bulks up over one night. Then again, If you're looking for ground-breaking originality, you wouldn't have bought a film from the Bargain bin, where this movie was undoubtedly resting before it was picked up by your spendthrift fingers and brought home to watch. But not before checking out the reviews, just in case it really is awful. Still, If Alec Baldwin, A flimsy storyline and a 5.8 star review on IMDb isn't going to stop you, I certainly won't. So, to summarise: Second Nature: The lowlight of action movies, the highlight of Baldwin's Career.

vitachiel As happens more often than expected, I was tricked again by an opening scene. Crappy flashback shots, a guy in a hospital bed and uninspired opening credits. Oh-oh...Fortunately, the movie is not as lousy as the first scene. Helped by the 'stay cool' performance of Baldwin and Lombard, it is a fair watch. The plot is interesting, and it's good that they don't spoil the surprise quickly. The thing that ruins it a bit though is that the 'brainwash' method is portrayed very clumsily. Instead of showing a guy with electrodes on his head while watching pre-acted memories, why not simply a brain implant? Now, it really looks like a bad science fiction fantasy, which invades the further part of the story.

MarriottKR This is a good, interesting thriller about an alleged hitman's effort to resolve his own doubts about his identity. The movie stars Alec Baldwin, who makes any movie at least 2 points better just by being in it. While it is a made-for-TV movie, it is certainly worth renting (or seeing in a theater). Rated it as 8 points (out of 10).

senni The movie was awful. The production company should be required to pay a fine for wasting electricity transmitting this nonsense.There were too many holes in the plot. Why would the DOJ send a killer out to assassinate a world leader? If they weren't the DOJ, why would they send someone they thought would not do the job? To quote Butch Cassidy, "Who are those guys?" Apparently, the director does not know either because he never told us.The characters were unbelievable. They did not behave in any way that seemed to fit who they allegedly were. With the exception of the doctor, none of the characters were particularly compelling or likeable.If you want to waste money on the electricity required to watch this movie, feel free. Otherwise, run the opposite direction.
