Rip off of Final Analysis


Woman sets up a psychiatrist to help her get plead insanity for a murder, he finds out she's lied and keeps her in an asylum. She's even wearing the same blue denim shirt!

Oh yeah brilliantly spotted! In exactly the same fashion as Close Encounters ripped off Star Wars's ideas about using spaceships. Absolutely shocking!🐭

FINAL ANALYSIS definitely leapt to mind when I saw this film.

I didn't believe this movie from the beginning because it was reminding me of Final Analysis. I'm amazed at all the accolades it received considering how similar it is. Even the "fog" quote was similar to Uma Thurman saying violence for violets.

The acclaim may have had something to do with this supposedly being Soderbergh's last film.
