Simply Incredible

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2001)

A mesmerizing performance from the underutilized, underestimated Guy Pearce highlights this tautly-written, edgy masterpiece. Pearce's portrayal of a man haunted by memories of his wife's murder and the short-term memory madness that has become his life should make him the early frontrunner for Best Actor at the 2002 Academy Awards. The backwards storytelling is fresh and exquisite and all those involved with the film should be commended and honored many times over. This film will have many discussing it for years to come.
