Curse of the Jade Scorpion, The (2001) - Details

Woody Allen writes, directs and stars as CW Briggs, the top insurance investigator in New York in 1940- or so he keeps telling the firm's new efficient expert, Betty Ann Fitzgerald (Helen Hunt). Briggs prides himself on being able to crack any insurance caper by getting into the mind of the thief, but now, thanks to the hypnotic powers of Jade the Scorpion, the mind of a thief is getting into Briggs.
