"I can't remember to forget you"

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2001)

To quote the great Keanu Reeves: "Whoa". Give yourself over to this hypnotic, challenging movie and you'll have a great ride. Try too hard to figure it out or second guess it, you'll ruin the fun of watching a truly original work unfold. It's so great to see Guy Pearce in another good role since LA CONFIDENTIAL. Joe Pantaliono is reliable as always. And even though the story is told backwards, it still manages to surprise you. A clever film that doesn't sacrifice the humanity at the heart of the film for cheap shocks, this movie is more than a mere gimmick. Pearce will truly make you care about this character, rooting for what essentially boils down to a revenge fantasy. You could poke holes in it all night long, but why bother? Just lean back and enjoy one of the best mindf***s captured on film.
