Ben and his wife celebrate him ending his parole days,as she is studying to get a better job. His brother is released from prison,and proposes a new heist. Ben refuses. At work,his boss tells him that although he's one of the best employees,he has to let him go,because the family for whom he works did a background check on him and don't want him around,knowing he was in jail. So Ben accepts his brother's offer.

While robbing the place,his brother and his friend get into an altercation with a cop,and they shoot each other. Ben,although having nothing to do with it,is sentenced to death by lethal injection,for the sole reason of being there.

He wakes up from it,and is offered a job at a psychiatric hospital where he has to tend the grounds. He is told he's dead and this is his chance at redemption.

Weird things start happening,as he wants to go home and see his family,and an angel is telling him the bus he's on will crash. Nothing is what it seems,it seems the people or whatever they are,working there,try to keep him there at all costs.

Although this is my kind of movie ( I love movies in which they don't know what's real and they have to figure out what's happening etc..),the movie bored me. The acting was fine,the soundtrack was beautiful,I don't know why it didn't grip me.

Rating : Could have been a contender !
