The Most Under-rated and Overlooked Movie of the Year.

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2002)

Before watching this movie last night I knew little to nothing at all about it aside from what I could figure out from the cover. People had told me it was a good movie but when I would ask them what it was about, nobody could really tell me. Now I understand why. Probably the single best compliment I could pay this film is that I could not take my eyes off the screen for the entire movie. From the opening scene I was hooked. This is a movie that crosses genres. You could call it a mystery/thriller/romance/drama/sci-fi and it would be accurate. All the actors give a flawless performance. Parts of this movie will leave you confused but intrigued; there are parts where you think you have figured it all out just to have something thrown in your face! The movie deals somewhat with mental illness; and although this movie is in a different ballpark than A Beautiful Mind, there are parallels that exist with regards to determining what is real and what is imaginined. Actually now that I think about it, the main characters in both movies are schitzophrenic! (sp) I left this movie thinking I had just solved the mystery, but later I wondered if I actually had. This kind of movie does that to you. This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. [9.5/10]
