It's still in my head...I need to see it again...

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2001)

Purpose! We all need purpose in life otherwise why do we go on? The central theme here of revenge is not new but it is refreshed by both the central character's 15 minute memory and the use of retrospective editing. Having watched Guy Pearce move from 'Neighbours' to movies I can only say how impressed I am at both his versatility and overall acting ability. I thought L.A. Confidential was the tops but this beats that by a mile.
This movie, well acted as it may be, however, needs the viewer to watch and listen to every nuance, as it is both difficult to comprehend and irritatingly interesting at the same time. It is both a must see movie and a 'see it again' movie. Why? Because no matter how hard you try you will still be dumbfounded by the ending the first time around. Get a good nights sleep before watching...both times.
