As helmed by
Gilles Bourdos, this
supernatural thriller - a Franco-German-Canadian co-production - continues
John Malkovich's career-long tradition of playing offbeat, enigmatic figures with a menacing air.
Romain Duris stars as
Nathan Del Amico, an attorney doubly haunted by his past, as the survivor of a near-death experience as a child and a witness of his own baby's death. As a product of these crises,
Nathan has buried himself in his work and now suffers from a bad case of familial estrangement from his separated wife
Evangeline Lilly and little girl. Then the mysterious
Dr. Kay (
Malkovich) turns up, claiming that he has clairvoyant visions informing him when someone is about to die - a gift as a "messenger" that enables him to make each person's transition out of life a smooth and easy one. Suddenly, upon hearing
Kay's claims,
Nathan feels his death-laden memories double in intensity - and grows increasingly convinced that either he now stands on the verge of death, or that he has the same messenger abilities as
Kay.
