Caught me totally by surprise, great film!

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2002)

Warning, might contain spoilers.
After keeping this film for a while, but not watching it, don't ask me why, I decided to give it a go and boy was I in for something special. This film is like nothing you've ever seen before what with the story being told backwards. It took about half an hour to get into it and to drop the confusion level but after that I couldn't and didn't want to leave the screen!
You first look at this like some good and bad struggle, right away the movie tells you not to trust Teddy, so you don't. Then Natalie turns out to be quite the witch so don't trust her, but the one you always trust is Lenny. So the ending catches you by total surprise and leaves you gobsmacked. I mean, I can often predict endings in films but that I did not see coming!

Great job by Guy Pearce, he sure has come a long way since Neighbours! Joe Pantoliano has a great way of never gaining my trust, I mean he acts well, but I never trust the characters he's portraying. Carrie also does a great job at going from a helpful co-sufferer, to an angry and exploiting b***c, or did I get that backwards?!
A must see! 9/10
