Very good movie, but be ready for it.

Rating: 8/10 (3 May 2003)

My summary may seem a bit cryptic, but so is this movie. The film style is innovative, albeit a derivative of the completely original plot. The narrative style is sincere in the attempt to portray a man who is searching for a murderer while suffering from an inability to form lasting memories. Be warned, however, this movie is not the bland intellectual stimulation, on par with end stage syphilis, that Hollywood is fond of creating these days. This film takes a bit of active thought. I saw it on a flight to London and must admit I switched to the music video selections after a few drinks. The more sober mind, however, found the movie to be both entertaining and thought provoking.
