Summary: Think out of the box
Review: When I first heard about this movie, I thought I'd never understand it. Our son is one of the producers and I know how dedicated he was to this movie. It wasn't a movie that I would normally go see but we wanted to support him. I have to say, I never had a movie make me think so much. I had to see it twice before I really understood it but it was well worth it. If you want a predictable movie, go see Ali but if you want something new and intelligent, see Memento.

Summary: Guy Pearce who?
Review: I rented this film only because a friend of a friend recommended it. I took a gamble...I won.

This film grabbed me from the begining and had me hooked till the end.

The whole production is fantastic. The cut's in the scenes dealing with the main characters memory loss is just creativily planned out.

Great movie, a must see for action and movie fans alike.

Summary: Suck Job City !!!!!
Review: Everybody I know, who has seen this movie, loved it. I absolutely hated it. I thought it totally sucked. It was difficult to follow, but that's not why I dislike it so much. I found it to be really stupid. The story line is lame, the characters are under-developed, and it is very unrealistic. I mean, jeeze, does anyone really believe that you can give yourself a tattoo with a syringe and some ink from a bic pen that is perfectly legible and looks professionally done? Also, when one gets a tattoo, doesn't it take longer than a few hours for the skin to heal and return to normal? WEAK !! None of the characters in this movie are worth caring about at all.
Don't waste your time or your money on this one.

Summary: Guy Pearce The Next Big Thing
Review: This movie is hands down the best movie of 2001. A true mind bending experience that has you second guessing yourself everytime. Just when you think you have figured out the flicks nifty twisted plot you are fooled.

Chris Nolan's direction is superb and innovative. The movie starts at the end and goes backward in ten minute intervals. Taking you to the beginning to see where it all started. The flick has a great leading man in Guy Pearce. New Market Films should push his performance for Oscar consideration. He turns in one of the best performances of 2001. The supporting players are cool, Carrie Ann Moss delivers a solid performance.

This was one of the best flicks of 2001. It is rare that you find a movie with plot twists that aren't hokey or dumb like "Vanilla Sky." If you haven't seen it you should soon.

Summary: I still don't really get it all, but a REALLY good movie
Review: I'm not even going to try and pretend that I know exactly what was going on in this movie - or that I appreciated it on some artistic level of genious. But I really have to say that I enjoyed it. It was so strange and confusing, but I HAD to keep watching. The best word to describe it is compelling. I haven't been that engrossed in a movie in a while. It's dark, it's confusing and it'll stick with you for a while after you see it. But definitely worth it.

Summary: have to add my comment
Review: In a previous review, somebody said thay gave this movie 2 stars because there was no representation of good in the movie.

What does that have to do with anything?

This is a well made, well acted, suspensful movie with an interesting story. Okay, so the characters don't end up giving each other hugs and kisses at the end. So what? It's a great movie that holds your attention for almost 2 hours.

I hate movies that assumes the audience is stupid. Nothing worse than a movie that spoon feeds you whats going on, and this one doesn't. Sure, some people won't be able to follow what's going on, and that's too bad for them, but this is a great movie.

Summary: People giving this movie less than 5 stars did not understan
Review: Everyone who give this movie less than 5 stars did not understand it and is never going to understand it. Many people claim its just a simple story shown in a complex and puzzling way. But thats not it. The story of the movie is not told IN the movie, its being unfolded in your thoughts whcih u make after seeing the movie (i strongly advise you to read the official website, cause if u dont u wont even come close to understanding it).

For me I can say that there has never been another movie that made me watch it 6 times and discussing/thinking bout it again even a year after watching it. And that is what a real movie should be about.

Summary: Worst Movie Ever
Review: Okay, maybe not THE worst, but certainly one of the worst movies ever. Overhyped by pseudo-intelligensia who think the schizophrenic style amounts to "art."

Summary: Awesome movie
Review: I sat down on to watch a movie I really knew nothing about but the reviews on this very page. I was really impressed with the acting and the story. It unfolded beautifully and anyone who doesn't require explosions, machine guns and a movie that will keep you guessing will love this movie. Thumbs up.
