Absolutely incredible

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2002)

This is probably the best movie I've ever seen. The screenplay, the acting, the story...amazing.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS
The basic idea of this movie is that Guy Pearce's character can't remember anything since an attack in which his wife was killed. We see two lines of action, one in color, one in black and white. The color one moves backward. What we see first is the end of the story. The other one moves forward. It is the beginning of the story. When they meet at the end of the film, black and white turns to color and everything makes sense.
Part of the genius of doing the movie backwards is that we, the audience, don't know any more than Guy Pearce's character does, since what happened in the prior scene hasn't actually happened yet.
The only criticism I can possibly think of this movie is that it's difficult to follow. But of course, it's supposed to be difficult to follow, and that's part of its greatness.
Truly a MEMORABLE movie!
10/10
