Hi - this is such a long shot, but I've been pondering it since 2006...
I live in England, and I was up late one night watching a movie on Film4, which I reluctantly got into but now wish I could remember what it was because the scenes keep bugging me!
It was a sort of psychological thriller/sci-fi American film that starred a B-list male actor, from the early 2000s. I believe the plot is about a 40-ish man whose wife is missing, has been abducted, or has run off. I only remember a couple of scenes clearly, though:
1. He goes into a cafe in a snowy little town, looking for his wife (I think); when he tries to show a photograph of her, he realizes all these cops are looking at him from behind mirrored sunglasses, and he leaves.
The exterior shot is sort of cold, Midwest-ish and blank.
2. He is in a hotel, that is very dark-lit and greenish (kind of Lynchian), where he either takes a phone call or gets a message from someone.
3. He gets into an elevator and goes to an upper floor of the hotel, stepping out into a pitch black hallway. And something happens immediately after where he either goes into a red room, or is swallowed in red light, and I think the implication is that he actually killed his wife...if she even existed?
I remember that the ending was quite ambiguious, and the whole tone of the movie was very quiet and tense.
Finally, I believe the title was something short and made up of capital letters...but I could be completely wrong about this. Hell, I could even be confusing two movies.
But like I said, I thought I'd give it a shot. If anyone can help me, I'll be eternally grateful!
