The Jacket (2005)

If you feel like watching a an interesting movie, I suggest The Jacket (2005). It is a little on the heavy side in terms of subject matter which includes experimenting on patients who appear to be mentally ill, but the movie is based on the novel written in 1915 by Jack London originally under the title The Star Rover. The difference between the novel and the movie is that in The Star Rover, the prisoner endures torture by escaping in his mind into the universe as if he were a space traveler, in contrast, the movie has the patient shift in time which is induced by experimental drugs. The movie is well acted and of course it is an interesting story.
