I can't play Freecell and watch this movie at the same time, it Sucks!!! **Some Spoilers**

Rating: 9/10 (8 October 2001)

Yes, the movie starts at the end and works its way to the middle, and has intersecting black and white segments starting at "the beginning" and also working toward the middle. If you cannot wrap your head around that perhaps you're better off renting Josie and the Pussycats. Far from dull its captivating watching how prior events dramatically change the tone and effect of previously viewed (later) scenes. There is also a good deal of humor to be found, the entire Dodd episode is pretty funny from finish to start. If you go into watching it with few preconceived notions and paying attention you'll find a wonderful modern film noir revenge story, with a much more ambiguous (and darker?) ending then lots of people seem to realize...
**Spoilers Ahead**
**Following discussion should only be read if you've seen the movie**
People seem to be putting too much credence in what Teddy says at the climax, while it seems to wrap up the mystery nicely, and there could be some truth to it, there is one more twist toward the end people seem to be ignoring or are oblivious to, Leonard is not Sammy Jenkis. While in bed with Natalie she asks about a tattoo-less section of his chest, in the picture Teddy has taken of Lenny he is grinning ear to ear and pointing to this same section of his chest, and finally just before the movie ends there is a quick scene of Lenny laying in bed with a new tattoo (and someone important). Leonard is Sammy Jenkis in a way, despite his claim he is much more organized, he has been continuously tricked into avenging his wife, similar to the way Sammy Jenkis was tricked into administering repeated insulin shots to his wife. I believe that is why Leonard replaces Sammy in an blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot.
