A total knock-out (no spoiler)

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2001)

First, I wanted to see this movie since Guy Pearce is in it, I really like him since I saw him in Ravenous. Then I heard about the story, a man with no short-time memory hunting his wife's killer - and then - the story is told backwards.
The introduction is magical, from the opening shot you really don't have a clue of what is happening, but then it slowly turns out that the frames are being played backwards, really showing us the END of the story, but with the marvelous backward-telling, it is the beggining of the story and the hunt for the killer. Every new episode, tracking backwards in time, asks a new question, and not until the end, or the beginning - the answers are revealed.
This is a MASTERPIECE with the extreme cool idea of telling a story backwards, leaving us as unaware of what just happens as it does to Guy Pearce character Lenny.
Whatever you do, don't miss it. The story, the actors, the color, every detail is so great! Best movie this year - no doubt. A prime example that you don't need a big budget and lots of action to make a movie that will knock you down. If you haven't seen it yet - what are you waiting for?
