Mirage (1965)
Warning: this neo-noir thriller boasts a high body count. A rather typical American gun movie smashed together with an amnesia victim's existential crisis, this mid-60s flick kept me interested. Gregory Peck is appealingly flummoxed by the mess he's in while trying to figure out what he's done to make so many people want to kill him. The supporting cast is star-studded, and the plot moves along at a pretty good pace, but I found the set pieces a little repetitive: for example, he really only needed to visit the consulting psychiatrist once. Although this movie was filled with gaslighting, which I DESPISE, I'll give it a thumbs up.
