I don't know how Trance ends. This slick, over-self-confident mistake of a film (2013, directed by Danny Boyle and starring James McAvoy, Vincent Cassel, and Rosario Dawson) dissolved into incoherence minutes before I checked with my wife and we agreed it was hopeless. It started out with the heist of a twenty-or-so-million-dollar Goya painting, which the insider Simon (McAvoy) "lost" and couldn't remember where he'd put it because of being hit in the head by fellow art thief Franck (Cassel) during the robbery, leading to their engaging hypnotherapist Elizabeth (Dawson)....It wasn't long into the "therapy" that the plot melted all over the screen like...what? Scrambled eggs being heated on a cold grill?
