excellent, groundbreaking film

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2001)

I rented this film to see Carrie-Anne Moss' acting (which was decent and, at times, very good) and I am glad I did. This is one of the ground-breaking films that Wim Wenders talks about when he speaks of the new revolutionary directions filmmaking will take.
The traditional thriller storyline is edited in a very unoriginal manner, which gives us the appropriate instability as a viewer to allow us to more fully appreciate the dilemma of the brilliant Guy Pearce (Joe Pantoliano's performance is also very good as the slimeball cop).
Top marks for screenwriting, editing, and directing - congratulations to Suzanne and Jennifer Todd on assembling such a team.
My only significant criticism was that there were no commentary tracks on the DVD.
