Five men wake up in a locked-down warehouse with no memory of who they are. They are forced to figure out who is good and who is bad to stay alive.

Unknown (2006) was a non-sci-fi movie along the same lines that I really liked.

I generally prefer the TV format these days, but this type of story might be better suited for the big screen in the 2 hours or under format.

I really liked Dark Matter, but I think once the mystery like this was revealed they could have done more with the story. It wasn't bad, and I still enjoyed watching it, but the loss of identity was a major part of the show's identity and when that wasn't a factor anymore it kind of stalled. Just like how the X-Files viewership kind of fell off when the "will they, won't they" between Mulder and Scully ended, I think Dark Matter was doomed to the same fate once you found out who everybody was.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I have not seen either of those that I recall. How long did the mystery last in Dark Matter? A few episodes?

Wow, what a cast for Unknown. The top 11 are pulls, plus early Victoria Justice. Looks like one I should have seen in cinema, but I was busy that year, with limited movie access.

BTW, welcome to Fireflyfans.net Six. This is a forum for fans of the Sci-Fi TV show Firefly and film Serenity. :P

Alita: Battle Angel seems to be a solid fit for this type of story.

I think Unbreakable also fits, and therefore Glass as well.

I don't feel Momento really fits in this category, and neither Phenomenon. I guess in Michael the reporters were merely foils without knowing it, thinking they were the ones in control.
