A puzzle/suspense/thriller movie... a must see! One of the best in years!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2002)

Ok, basically this movie shows us the quest of a man, who cannot create new memories, in search of his wife killer. Since he can't remember a person or a conversation only a few minutes after he had it, he has to use photos and notes to keep track of his progresses. First of all the acting is great! Pearce, Moss and Pantoliano are amazing in this movie, i specially liked Pearce, after L.A. Confidential he really estabilished himself as a first rate actor. The direction is also very good and the way the story is told puts us into Shelby's (Pearce) shoes... knowing what he's gonna do but not what he's done, just like the character! But the best part for me is the story itself... it's complex but not boring and, in the end, gives enough answers but leaves some minor questions in the air (i love movies like this!!). If you go watch it with 10 persons you're gonna get 5 different opinions at the end. And if you watch it twice you still gonna find more details that slipped you the first time!
If you don't like to think much in the cinema and prefer action packed films or romantic flicks, don't bother seeing this one, but if you like a good, exciting puzzle thats keeps you on the edge of your sit for the entire movie and thinking about it afterwards... go watch it now!
