“If the director of this independent film tried to make us feel really confused, like the main character, he did it wonderfully. There are only a few movies like this one, the kind of movies that makes you pay attention to every minute of it. Obviously that doesnu0026#39;t work all the time, but this case is the exception. Really well directed with a wonderful photography and excellent cast. The main actorsu0026#39; performances are great. We really root for the guy as we hate the ones who try to take advantage of him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOriginal films like this one always stand out. Perhaps it didnu0026#39;t caught much attention at first but now it is in an important position at the IMDb top 250 and that means that most the people recognize great movies when they see them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs I said before, this movie is a little confusing because it runs backwards while the black and white scenes run in chronological order. But that wasnu0026#39;t a cheap trick to make the movie more u0026quot;intelectualu0026quot;, it was its strength. A rare film that shouldnu0026#39;t be missed.”
