Cross between Memento and True Romance

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2006)

I went to catch this movie this weekend, and was a little apprehensive given the generally poor reviews and box office. I just don't understand why this is, because this was about the most interesting movie I've seen in a long time. I think this had one of the most interesting plots I've seen come out of Hollywood in quite a while. It had all of the light-hearted murder and mayhem that Terantino included in True Romance, as well as the superb use of time displacement that Jonathan Nolan exhibited in Memento. The acting here was solid (no awards, but I never felt it was lacking). The pace and directing were both outstanding. All in all, well worth the $8.50 and 2-hour investment!
