Most creative film this year

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2001)

Just got back from seeing this film, and what a great ride! This is a creative, well-done puzzler that kept me thinking and guessing, and generated some enthusiastic lobby patter among viewers afterward. The acting was great, the direction superb, and the juxtaposition of events moving backward in time with a less recent past told in forward-moving narrative somehow managed to keep me transfixed and just an inch or two short of bewildered. A real must see, preferably with an intelligent friend or two so you can discuss the story once it has completely unfolded.
(It was fun to see two stars from The Matrix in such fascinating and different roles!)
