Not What You'd Expect

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2001)

I found this film to be very well made. This movie is about an insurance claims agent who loses his short term memory, which he believes he can regain by avenging the death of his dead wife. This is one of those films that goes from the end of the story to the beginning.
It wasn't confusing to follow the timelines as they merged to the climax, but it's not a film you really enjoy throughout. That's probably my only criticism of this film: you can't enjoy it until the very end.
Most of the time, you're sitting trying to fit the pieces together. And do not be fooled by the beginning of the film. I thought I had it figured it in the first 10 minutes, but the ending is absolutely impossible to guess. The editing on this film was near flawless.
If you want a film that will intrigue and challenge you, this is it. If you're looking to just relax and watch a no-brainer, save this for another time.
