WHOOSH! A slightly disheveled Jake Gyllenhaal wakes up on a train confused as to why or how he got there in the first place. The woman sitting across from him thinks he is someone else (Sean Fentriss). He is quick to identify himself as Captain Colter Stevens and that he last remembers piloting a helicopter…[ more ]
