quite brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2005)

its been a long time since i saw a movie like this... it never lets you rest, things just keep happening, and there is a lot of unexpected events, it really is a must-see for everyone that likes suspense. it is very hard to write a comment without exposing too much of the story, so i recommend everyone NOT to see the trailer, as it gives away too much. One thing i was worried about was Ashton Kutcher, but he surprisingly makes his character very believable. Unfortunately i can only give away the basic plot, everything else would just ruin the movie: a young 7-year old boy is suffering from a disease, which causes him to black out from time to time, and he can't remember what happened, and the story is being told from his perspective, so we can only imagine what really happened. So the doctor recommends him to write a journal so later he could remember what happened, when he was out cold.
That's all i am gonna say, everything else would just spoil the movie, which is very intelligently guiding us to the inevitable truth...
To sum it up, the movie is very touching indeed, it starts fast and it just doesn't let up, i gave it 9/10.
