QUALity with a capital qual!

Rating: 9/10 (1 September 2002)

Imagine having no short term memory. You'd know what you were about to do, but you'd have no memory of what you'd just done a few minutes ago. That is what the main character is going through in this film, and that is how this film is viewed by you due to the inspired way the movie is filmed. The way you start at the end and end at the beginning reminds me of the Red Dwarf book: Backwards, and the way this style of story-telling works in film is absolutely brilliant. It kept me guessing until the end. As soon as I'd finished it I wanted to watch it again, and not many films can say that! One of the most original films I have ever seen, and along with Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt) and Sliding Doors, one of the few films that take a sci-fi theme (in this case; time running backwards (at least for the viewer)) and use it to create a completely non-sci-fi movie. QUALity!
