Entertainment Reviews:
While there's a certain amount of suspense undeniably well executed as we're left to decipher what's really happening and whose hypnonightmare we could very well be trapped in, this dread gets weighted down with asinine character motivations.

Rating: B --
It hypnotizes the audience with a clever slight of hand -- a cinematic crime puzzle that proves to be quite entertaining.

McEvoy plays the anti-hero at the heart of the movie's existential riddle. And he does the job. But thanks to Cassel and Dawson, Trance is also pretty damn sexy.

Rating: 3/4 --
McAvoy is winsome as an everyman who can't remember why he decided to be exceptional. And Dawson is so smooth, her mesmerizing performance papers over all of the problems with the plot.

Rating: 6/10 --
The film feels lacking in certain areas, mainly due to an ending that I don't think gels with the proceeding film.

Rating: 3/5 --
There's still something undeniably addictive about being placed under this particular director's cinematic, silky smooth spell.

Trance is high-order, film noir nonsense that takes Boyle back to the thrillers he made at the start of his career with John Hodge (he wrote Trance, too), like Shallow Grave and Trainspotting, that were preoccupied with the grimy corners of the psyche.

Product Description:
A thieving art auctioneer seeks the help of an alluring hypnotherapist in order to repair his damaged memory and recover the treasured Goya painting that he stashed following a brazen heist in this kinetic thriller reteaming Oscar-winning SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE director Danny Boyle with TRAINSPOTTING and SHALLOW GRAVE screenwriter John Hodge. Adapted from the 2001 made-for-television feature by writer/director Joe Ahearne (who collaborated with Hodge on the screenplay), TRANCE finds prominent art auctioneer Simon (James McAvoy) dealing with brain damage after he teams with crime boss Franck (Vincent Cassel) to steal a Goya from an auction, then tries unsuccessfully to double-cross his fierce accomplice. In response, Franck knocks Simon unconscious with a vicious blow to the skull, wiping out any memory concerning the whereabouts of the prized painting. When Simon claims to have no recollection of where he hid the stolen masterpiece, Franck and his crew grudgingly agree to let talented hypnotherapist Elizabeth (Rosario Dawson) try and pinpoint its location. Now, the deeper Elizabeth probes into Simon's subconscious, the more complex the mystery seems to grow.
