How often does a truly original storyline come along? Imagine you have no way of moving memory from short term (say, 1 minute) to long term (say yesterday). Now put yourself in the place of someone who has this condition, yet is trying to find his wife's killer. The story is not, as you would expect, about the search for the killer, but about the way the search is carried out.
Guy Pearce has proved here that he is in the Hollywood A list, a far cry from tacky Australian Soap, Neighbours - a long journey hindered at the start with his performance in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. And an unheard of director brings fresh approaches to the murder mystery film. Why this film did not win awards by the bucketload is beyond me. One of the very few 10/10 films, and a definite addition to the "DVD to buy list"
