Mirage is a 1995 action-thriller film directed by Paul Williams and starred by Edward James Olmos and Sean Young.[1][self-published source][2][3]
There's this detective dude who's hired to follow some guy's wife because she keeps getting herself into trouble. She suffers from severe headaches and loss of memory. She never seems to know what's going on. it turns out she's got a split personality. This split personality is the one getting her in trouble.
Emanuel Levy of Variety wrote that "Alfred Hitchcock deserves better than the atrocious homage he gets in Paul Williams Mirage, an incoherent thriller that can’t decide whether to slavishly copy Hitchcock’s Vertigo or make a satire out of it. Preposterous plotting and radical changes in tone dictate the fate of this routine B picture as straight-to-video. Closing-night selection of the Palm Springs Film Festival was greeted with laughter and sneers by a bewildered audience."
J.R Taylor of Entertainment Weekly said that "Ultimately, all this convolution leads to a cliffside climax so amusingly absurd it’s worth the rental fee."
