Good Story, lots of "acting"

Rating: 6/10 (22 June 2003)

A clever movie in love with its own cleverness. It also plays as an acting workshop with great actors trying to outdo one another. (The second-string characters win). The twist in the story (there's really only one, in the end)is effective. This one uses flashbacks in a manner similar to Memento, but more smoothly. As a result we go along with it more easily.The actors make it fun to watch, and the in the last quarter of the movie the twist begins kicking in. Good flick.
