Basically his wife didn't believe he had the condition and tests him with the insulin injection and dies. (Shades of Inception). However Guy Pearce is convinced there is still a killer out there and eventually does track one down. But he ends up forgetting this as well and still is obsessed on finding the killer. Joey Pants basically takes advantage of his condition by leading him on. Pearce figures this out and tricks himself into thinking that Pants is the killer when he starts remembering again. That's a pretty rudimentary explanation. [Reply]

Also, during one of his flashbacks, for a couple of frames, Pearce is the bald guy with the same condition. *Shades of FIght Club* So you are correct on how his wife dies.

Holy **** that was dumb. Eisenberg is a hack. Ruffalo was awful.
Agree 100%. Find the "Everything wrong with 'Now you see me'" on youtube. It nails how convoluted the ending is. [Reply]
