Sounds a lot like something Jack Baur has gone through.

Yeah, it's a Bourne knock-off, just not as good. The story becomes overly complicated, leading to three endings; none of which are satisfying. And all the while, the one element that kept me glued was, I kept wondering, "What was up with Danny Glover's speech impediment? Did he have false teeth, braces or did his suddenly gain a lisp all of a sudden?"
