The Jacket (2005)
A psychological thriller about a military veteran who returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia. When he is accused of murder and lands in an asylum, a well-meaning doctor puts him on a heavy course of experimental drugs, restrains him in a jacket-like device, and locks him away in a body drawer of the basement morgue.

Now the only question that matters is: can the woman he meets in the future save him? (read more)

I just finished watching this one not too long ago. I rented it because I hadn't seen Brody in anything else besides King Kong. I didn't move during it and that is always a pretty good sign.
