Good stuff.

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2002)

Before I rented this movie a couple of days ago I had hardly heard anything about it. Imagine my surprise when I realised that this was one of the best films of 2001!It was both smart and suspenseful at the same time. A true surprise.
The thing that makes this film so great is not the acting or even the basic story line. (We have seen films about amnesia before.) It´s the anti-linear story telling. (Thank god that they didn´t rip of Altman for this one!) The story unravels a bit like an reallife crimeinvestigation and ends up in an truly surprising ending. Sometimes you get the feeling that logic doesn´t really hold up for closer scrutiny but that´s just a minor glitch in the framwork of an minor masterpiece.
I wan´t to point out that had the film not had such an exciting ending this would just have been an interesting experiment, but now it turns out to be a great film that proves that american cinema is alive and kicking.
Good stuff.
