gimmicky but main character is characterless.

Rating: 6/10 (21 April 2001)

The protagonist is in a terrible position, granted. But he is of little depth that you just can't care much. The screenwriter/director/actor forgot to make him interesting. We have no sense what's at stake for him...and hence for us. What drives him? Did he love his wife? Who knows? One can't believe that such a flat creature would have any kind of sustained motivation to track the killer. Plus the film's confusingness seems pretentious after a while. The scenes with the motel guy were great though. And you had to groan at the nightmare of his not having any memory of boffing the lady, or have ever having seen her before. Oy.
