What? How is this movie in the Top 20???

Rating: 4/10 (14 July 2004)

This movie is waaaaaayyyy too confusing to even be considered one of the best of all time. Guy Pearce is super in it and the acting is wonderful. I like the idea and the concept of telling the story is pretty original. But wow!!! What a bummer ending. It works up all this suspense and intrigue and you find out, the story we saw was for nothing???? I don't mind not knowing everything, but not knowing anything???? Not acceptable. I didn't like it and call me stupid, but after being intrigued and following along the whole time, the ending is just too stupid. At one point, I was just ready to get the movie over with. Not something a movie should want me to do. There is some entertainment value, but at some point, it becomes too complicated to even really care. That's how I felt. This movie is pretty overrated for where it is in the standings. It's half-way decent, and DEFINITELY NOT ONE OF THE 20 BEST FILMS EVER MADE!!!! Go see the Usual Suspects instead.
