Hilariously bizarre psycho thriller love tragedy

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2005)

This movie is one of a kind. The idea that one's bad memories can be erased is enough seed of an idea from which to harvest comic material for a small miniseries, and this movie is like the highlights all scrunched into 2 hours. The action is non-stop, the suspense is ever-present, the cinematography is so fresh, and the acting is purely enthralling. You will find yourself so captured by the story that you will forget that you are watching a movie. Movies like this take our subconscious spirits on a joy ride and leave the rest of us to try and catch up. The catching up only comes well after the movie is over, as the smiles take days to wear off. After watching this movie, I immediately KNEW that it was in my top 25 of all time, and that it would stay there forever. Other movies with similar bizarre plots will come close, I'm sure, but this one is so original as to only be compared with the likes of 12 Monkeys, Vanilla Sky, Brazil, and a small handful of others. Enjoy!
