Backwards, Shmackwards

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2001)

In keeping with the 'theme' of the movie, I decided to post my review from end to beginning. Please go to the 'end' and work your way to the 'beginning'.

Well, I gotta run, it's time for my shot!
I think Guy Pearce and The Time Machine will fare better.
In spite of my nit-picking, it was mildly entertaining given all the other crap out there on the shelves, but I really doubt it belongs in the top 10.
End Of Spoilers---------
And, finally, what was with that scene with Len in his hotel room with the glass against the wall (listening)??? Was there a deleted scene we don't know about?
The bathroom scene where the 'alleged' event takes place. There were two different men in the bathroom. The first one was not wearing a cap and the second, was. Why didn't Len pursue the second attacker/killer?
Why would Len, so intent upon keeping mementos, burn his wife's personal belongings? Why did it take all night to burn 3 items (brush, doll, book)? What was she reading "Lord Of The Rings"?
The scene with Len in the shower and Dodd walks in: how convenient to have a roll of electrical tape in his duffel bag. (I know I never leave home without it). Closet scene: I actually thought Dodd was trying to say 'John' but couldn't pronounce it properly because of the punch in the face, when Len asked him his name. I was trying to deduce who the 'real' John was at this point in the movie).
I believe it is in the third (?) scene where Len is returning to the Hotel and has to be let in. Bert (the hotel's 'concierge' if I may) lets him in to the room and realizes he has let him in the wrong room. As they are leaving the one unit to head upstairs, Len calls him 'Bert' on the deck. How did he remember his name?
A few continuity problems (Warning some spoilers):
Okay, I read all the hype last night and decided to run out and get the video for tonight. Unfortunately, I can't give this movie any greater a rating than a '5'.
