The Passenger

A disillusioned journalist covering a conflict in northern Africa takes the identity of a dead stranger who resembles him. He soon discovers that the new identity belongs to an arms dealer, drawing him into dangerous encounters as he travels with a young woman while trying to evade police and criminals.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy mysterious, introspective films about identity and alienation, such as L’Avventura or Red Desert; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear explanations, or constant action.
