it works on a number of levels

Rating: Null/10 (5 October 2004)

i just saw this at the Vancouver International Film Festival. astoundingly good. if you haven't seen any hitchcock films you won't get it because the tradition will be lost on you - but - i predict an Oscar for Christian Bale. you can't compare this with 6th sense, memento or anything else because the character "knows" precisely what is going on whereas you, the viewer do not - for the longest period of time. remember the argument for 'memento' - how does he remember that he has forgotten? best of the fest for me. flikstik
