Clever concept, but it's been done better before

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2002)

The notion of running the film backwards was done better in Harold Pinter's "Betrayal." That play was later made into a film starring Ben Kingsley and Jeremy Irons. Unlike Betrayal, here, the bending of time is a gimmick. That the DVD has a version of the film in chronological order reveals that it can be seen either way. In Betrayal, however, the tone of the film necessarily requires the bending of time. Rent or buy Betrayal, and see why it is a better film.
