The plot revolves around Simon (James McAvoy), a fine art auctioneer which becomes involved in the theft of Francisco de Goya's painting "The dance of the witches", from his own auction house. A former hardcore gambler, Simon is in cahoots with Franck (Vincent Cassel), to which he owes a great deal of money, so the theft is his only way out.
The theft would go wrong after Simon made an unexpected move towards Franck, trying to zap him. Franck recovers from the shock and hits him with his gun across the head. Simon loses his memory, temporarily and they have to appeal to a hypnotherapist, Elisabeth Lamb (Rosario Dawson) to bring out the location of the stolen painting.
The whole movie is about the chase for the painting. Does Elisabeth Lamb screw both Simon and Franck in order to control them? Cannot confirm or deny. Is it violence implied in this movie? No, it isn't, it's just make-believe.
However, this movie is something to be watched. It should probably give you an insight of the power that your shrink has upon you.
