Very good...

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2002)

This is actually my favorite movie of all time. I've read a few other comments that say quite unfairly that this was another one of those "gimmick movies" and that without the backward storytelling "gimmick" this would be a sub-par movie. But you know what? The "gimmick" holds it all together very nicely. The beginning is John G's murder being played backward (and this doesn't look funny like when u rewind something on a VCR, it looks really cool) and then you see the main character narrating in black and white (which is during a different time). Of course, you have to watch the movie a few times, and it is not flawed in any way! Some say that his memory loss should've made him forget he had memory loss, but then they don't bother to think about it. The second time i watched the movie, I slowly began to realize that the tattoo on his hand ("remember Sammy Jankis") was what reminded him that he had it (he conditioned himself to recognize the meaning). Overall, beautifully done film, 5/5.
