Brilliant!!!

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2002)

I saw this film when it first opened and it jumped straight in to my top five list, all i can say about this is that it is absolutely brilliant. The premise is fantastically original, a man with no short term memory trying to find his wifes killer with the help of someone he doesn't know at all, or at least thats what he thinks. I think the film going in reverse while inter-cutting in forwards action is a brilliant idea and it works fantastically in this film. Guy Pearce deserves a lot of credit for pulling off the role of Leonard Shelby, he is amazing, as is the supporting cast. Like Fight Club, this film was severly overlooked at the oscars, adding to my opinion that the oscars mean nothing whatsoever. Overall, brilliant, everything is great in this movie 10/10
