The movie is fantastic. It\'s #11 on IMDB.com\'s Top 250 movies of all time. "Unfortunatly" it isn\'t a super big budget movie, so other crap movies get in the spotlight instead. Capitalism at its best.
Here\'s a paste from the user comments at Internet Movie Database:
I just saw this film on the big screen about 2 hours ago. It was absolutely incredible!!! It begins with a bloody murder scene, then shows the man getting murdered in reverse, and goes on to tell the story. The catch is that is goes in reverse order. The events which you have previously witnessed begin to fall into place as the film progresses. This film is brilliant. Anyone who did not like the movie probably does not understand it. It is a somewhat complicated story but if you are able to follow it and are able to put a choppy storyline together you will LOVE IT!!! If you have the attention span of a cricket or are not bright, I don\'t advise watching. If you\'re tired of the crappy no story, special effect, gratuitous nude/fight scene junk that is out there, you should check this out![/b]
I think it\'s out on R1 DVD September 4th (and R2 the same month).
Edit: I found another passage that\'ll help explain the plot:
You have to pay attention, and stay with this movie until the end, because it is shown backwards…that\'s right, from ending to beginning! No, people aren\'t walking and driving cars backwards, but they show about five minute segments, starting with the end, and then overlapping a little, going backwards in time. There\'s a reason for this, because the storyline is about a man who is trying to find his wife\'s killer. The problem, however, is that since the murder, he has ZERO short term memory, so he needs to snap photographs and jot notes to himself to help him the next day, or even the next five minutes. Sounds like a movie to miss, but it actually was done pretty well, and worth it if you like flicks that make you pay attention. (Unfortunately, most movies DON\'T!) B
