Most innovative film in a long time (go see it)!

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2001)

If you're tired of the sappy teeny-bopper movies that lack plot, originality, and tell the same prima facie love story that movie watcher have been so accustomed to, THEN GO SEE THIS MOVIE.
This is one of those movies you have to dodge around to gather the whole plot and exactly what did happen because of the constant scene switching in time reference. Nothing is in a standard beginning to end format, everything is jumbled (giving you the cinematographic feel of being Leonard Shelby - not knowing which end is up). The eerie sounds cue fantastic scenes, and when it's all said and done - you will eventually figure out what has occurred in one man's tale of 3 ongoing years of hopelessness (you actually relate with his condition), and more to come. Only problem is - he won't figure it out. Two minutes from now, everything will be forgotten.
It's like you just woke up. And you breathe the breath of fresh filmmaking. I can't wait to see Insomnia(2002) with Pacino!
Nolan has exuded life into a new breed of contemplating thrillers. You will enjoy this movie, and put some major thought into it when the screen goes black.
Guy Pearce looks like he has a fabulous and interesting future in film ahead of him, he plays the part to a tee. Carrie Anne Moss does an excellent job as well. Joe Pantoliano also takes the cake - he needs more recognition! An acting trio to be acknowledged.
