Get people to see this movie - IT WAS GREAT

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2001)

There is no reason why this film shouldn;t have a wider release - get people to see it and get it some publicity.
I was reminded of Paul's (Will Smith) momologue in Six Degrees of Separation about imagination - that it does not need to be confined to the realm of science fiction - well HERE is a film with REAL inagination - one that uses its premise to tell a unique story and to put us into the mindset of the protagonist.
Lots of people will debate some of the finer points of the story and the ending/beginning leaves a lot of questions (although, in the context of the story, could you expect any REAL certainty in the resolution?) - but the point was that it WORKED - here was a film that could easily have turned into an exercise a la TIME CODE, but instead, made the structure a key component of the storytelling.
Performances were great - Guy Pearce was the right man for this role - abloe to convince you that he understands even though he has no clue what you are talking about.
THIS IS THE KIND OF MOVIE WE WANT TO HAVE MADE - it stretches the boundaries of cinema and shows us how to make entertaining and valuable cinema through creativity and innovation, rather than through millions in special effects.
