The Anomaly (2014)
Entertaining riff on Total Recall / Jekyll and Hyde etc
Your body is under control of someone or something, and you have less than 10 minutes every few days to figure out what's going on. After your 10 minutes are up, you go to sleep and your body goes back to its nefarious activities, of which you have no memory.
The main character experiences a lot of lost time, but he makes the most of his 10 minute episodes of awareness to try to regain control of the situation.
The fight scenes are reasonably entertaining and in the context of the film unavoidable when the main character's associates realize he's having an "episode".
The setup is classic Jekyll and Hyde, the twist being that the alternate villain persona is in control most of the time - this makes the puzzle solving far more urgent. Overall an enjoyable film, if a little predictable in the 2nd half.
