“Element” (*1/2 out of four) was a tedious Hitchcock-wannabe thriller about a financial advisor (Steven Michael Quezada) who turns to hypnosis to recall the memory of his dead wife but this leads to numerous changes in his reality and mental health. Viewers need not worry about having to turn to hypnosis because the movie will easily put you to sleep. Solid character actor Michael Ironside has a small supporting role but this shouldn’t replace “Scanners” or “Total Recall” on his resume anytime soon.
