The Soul Keeper (Italian: Prendimi l'anima; French: L'âme en jeu) is a 2002 Italian-French-British romance-drama film directed by Roberto Faenza. It is loosely based on real life events of Russian psychoanalyst and physician Sabina Spielrein and notably on her therapeutic and sentimental relationship with fellow psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung.[1][2]

This movie is highly UNDERrated....why? It has teen stars and was therefore promoted to a teen audience that was expecting another "Scream" or "I Know What You Did.." movie. This was one of the biggest studio marketing mistakes ever because this movie is WAY TOO DEEP for a teen audience. The symbolism and theology coupled with a complex storyline was geared for adult moviegoers in the fashion of "Memento" or "The Sixth Sense". No, this movie doesn't compare to either of those, but in no way is this movie as bad as the young reviewers will have you believe. Some moron studio exec thought they could make more money by taking the movie down to a PG13 rating and selling it to teenagers. Those teenagers were overwhelmed by this flick and weren't expecting a thoughtful suspense movie, they wanted another "Jason" thrasher gorefest, which this isn't. So they trashed it because they don't GET it. The editing could have been better and the very final scene stinks, but overall this is a well filmed, slightly erotic, captivating film that will make you think. 7 stars out of 10.
Soul Survivors reminded me a lot of Jacob's Ladder, but it doesn't have the foreboding mood or the suspense of the latter. A girl gets in a car accident and suffers a brain hemorrhage of sorts, which results in her going through some nightmarish experiences. Is she dead? Is she alive? We don't know until the end, and despite some artistic visual flourishes, Soul Survivors never seems to really take off. It doesn't generate any real suspense or give us any real scares. But it is not a total failure, either. Director Steve Carpenter has given us a film that seems to play the notes of psychological horror, but doesn't quite manage to play its music.
While Schmidt and Zola were about to leave while the facility burned around them, they were then confronted by Captain America. Upon seeing him, Schmidt began to mock Captain America, noting that he had seen and enjoyed the many propaganda films he had starred in. Schmidt had then noted his surprise that Abraham Erskine managed to recreate his experiment, although he made it clear he did not view Captain America's strength as an improvement upon his own.
Infinite ended with the film's reincarnated action hero, Evan McCauley, saving the world and but it also sets up a sequel that could expand the universe without starring Mark Wahlberg. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, Infinite is a sci-fi action fantasy about an offshoot of the human race called the Infinites who reincarnate throughout history with all of their memories from their past lives intact. Evan joins up with the heroic faction of Infinites called the Believers to stop the Nihilists, led by the maniacal Bathurst (Chiwetel Ejiofor), from killing everyone in the world.
Infinite introduced some heady concepts and had intriguing ideas about what it would mean if a person could reincarnate into a new body but still keep all of their memories. However, as a big-budget sci-fi action movie, Infinite's musings about reincarnation took a backseat to action movie tropes and a boilerplate plot of good guys trying to stop the bad guys from destroying the world. Here's a breakdown of Infinite's ending, how it sets up another movie, and the sprawling world the fantasy film introduced.
Infinite's ending also makes clear that the specific characters played by Mark Wahlberg and Sophie Cookson are dead so the actors wouldn't return for a sequel about the new Treadway and Nora. It would have to be new actors playing their reincarnated roles, including an Asian male lead as Treadway in Infinite 2. Alternatively, Infinite has all of history to use for a prequel but that also couldn't star Mark Wahlberg since he only found out he was an Infinite during the course of the movie. Another possibility would be to expand the Infinite universe and make another film about entirely different characters but still use Artisan as the common link between the movies.
Fans of movies about immortal warriors like The Old Guard, Highlander, and Marvel's Eternals may find Infinite a bit confusing since it isn't the same physical character who continues throughout time, just their souls in new bodies, necessitating different actors to play them once they reincarnate. Infinite can also be a headscratcher because of the way the movie presents the main characters' lives and when the events of the film take place.
Infinite is based on a sci-fi novel titled The Reincarnationist Papers by D. Eric Maikranz, but the filmmakers changed the book significantly to transform the property into a Hollywood action movie. In The Reincarnationist Papers, the protagonist, Evan Michaels, doesn't know he's been reincarnated and he's plagued by the memories of his two past lives. This was turned into Evan McCauley being institutionalized as a schizophrenic in Infinite's backstory. In the book, Evan meets a reincarnated woman named Poppy, who was turned into Nora Brightman in the film, although Poppy only remembers seven lives while Nora had dozens.
