Trance

Danny Boyle is known for making trippy movies. "Sunshine" and "Trainspotting" are proof of that. But how does Mr. Boyle top himself? By making a movie that even the main character doesn't know what's going on until the end of the movie.

"Trance" is a movie about a man, who works at an Art Auction, that works with a gang to steal a painting to pay back his gambling debts. But the robbery goes wrong, and he is hit on the head, causing him to forget where he left the painting. He and the robbers decide to try to use a hypnotherapist in order to help him remember, but she soon catches on to what they are trying to accomplish.

In his first film since "127 Hours", Danny Boyle decides to go back to his roots and make a movie that would make the audience rip it's hair out until the credits being to roll and everything comes full circle. And he jumped back into it like he never left. This film will keep you at the edge of your seat and keep you wondering what the hell you're watching for the entire 90 minutes. It is an intense, fast paced, roller coaster of emotion that could be a perfect example of an acid trip for someone who has never tripped in acid before (myself included).

All on all, "Trance" is a good movie, but not the best Mr. Boyle has directed. But it was a refreshing showcase of originality during a normally boring month of movies.
