Hey I had a post in here about this a few weeks ago but it has vanished. Hey guys this is on PPV now check it out and tell me what you think. I think if the systems fair this is oscar worthy.

Great movie, in a Pulp Fiction kinda way. You will need to see this one a few times to fully understand everything.

Yeah I agree, I own it on DVD. And I swear on like the fourth time I watched it, I noticed that when they are talking about sammy after "his" wife dies from the insulin. They show him in the mental hospital and when the orderly walks in front of him it changes to Lenny in the chair. Interesting foreshadowing if you were paying close attention.
But they way the movie works completely in reverse is really original. Some people would compare it to pulp fiction but it really isn't the same thing. Pulp fiction just jumped around alot. This movie moves precisely backwards.
What do you guys think? Oscar worthy? And if not what would you nomintate over it? I think best picture and Best Actor definitely. I mean that is a pretty difficult role to pull off. Isn't it?

I love a movie that makes me think. I don't really think it took that long to understand though, I mean he explains his condition almost right away.

Yeah, it was a good movie. I've only seen it once so far. I'm still real confused about it, but I will watch it again. Is the cop trustworthy after all? How did he remember he had that guy in the bathroom?

The guy was in the closet where he put him after he knocked him out. He called "teddy" and asked him to come and help. He fell asleep and when he woke up he heard the noise in the closet he checked it and then closed the door when teddy knocked.

Nope, you aren't wrong. I just a got chance to watch it. IT ROCKS!
I didn't find it hard to follow, maybe it was because you guys warned me, and I am familiar with the condition the guy has. What a great twist at the end! Really keeps you guessing! Even leaves a couple of interpretations open. GREAT! I loved it! Thanks Spree!
