Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2002)

My sister recommended this film to me after I told her how much I'd enjoyed Guy Pearces' wonderful performance in The Count Of Monte Cristo.
I got the video out, and was just blown away by it. This is the most clever and original film I have ever seen, and although at first it is a bit hard to understand because of the complex way the story is told, once you've got the hang of it you'll be enthralled. Guy Pearce is just the most natural actor I've seen, and gives a mesmerising performance, you can really feel his anger and fustration. His character is also very funny at times, especially in the scene where he discovers Dodd in his cuboard, and can't remember how he got there.
This film is a must see, but if you don't want to use your brain, then don't see it! All in all, a fantastic, thrilling movie. Quite why Guy wasn't nominated an Oscar for his amazing performance is beyond me.10/10
