Talk about a strange and interesting flick! This is it.

Anyone else think this is a great twist on a mystery? Don't give it away, like you really could..

If you think you are fast at figuring out a plot you need to go rent this one!

I am so with you!!! Bought it a cpl of weeks ago w/ my g/f on her recomendation and when it started, all I could think of was how silly...we already know the ending. WAS I EVER WRONG!! Very clever movie and really good acting. Half-way through I was screaming at the screen trying to figure it out. My g/f had seen it 3 times already and was just laughing at me...We talked about it for a while and think we got it all figured out...I think!

Get it if you can. Great time!

I think this was one of the best movies of the year. Unfortunately, I had somebody "ruin" it in advance for me thinking they were acting in my own best interest because it was too difficult for them to understand without this bit of understanding.

Still, I enjoyed the movie and think it requires several viewings to pick up on some of the subtler clues.

Rent it and watch it several times.

Amazingly Awesome Movie!!! I highly Recommend the DVD. There are many many interesting background information readings found on the DVD. It is SOOO DEEP! I'd also recommend watching the DVD backwards (scene by scene) Those of you who've seen it will know what I mean.

"OK, what am I doing, oh, I'm chasing this guy"

My wife and I still laugh about that one on a regualr basis.

Didn't see "Blow". . . However, I would say "Blackhawk Down" (which was released in 01, even though I didn't see it until last week) was the best picture of the year. . .

Memento is a STRONG second. . .

And Snatch is a close Third. . .
