A SURPRISINGLY EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!! WORTH WATCHING!!!!
Review created: 10/16/07(updated 10/16/07)

I got this blu-ray dvd for a good deal on eBay. I saw the review for this movie on Ebert & Roeper's At The Movies and they gave it 2 thumbs up so I was optimistic that it was going to be a worthy purchase. The story is about a young man named Chris Pratt who suffers from some brain damage after a near fatal car crash that kills 2 of his friends and permanently injures his girlfriend. Chris is a complex character. He struggles to be the young man he was once and to deal with the hand that life has dealt him. Chris must remind himself with a notebook to remember things because he easily forgets and gets things confused. He is focused on routine and repetition to get his life back together. Chris lives with a blind roommate (played convincingly by Jeff Daniels) and becomes the janitor of a bank. This movie is really interesting because of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance as Chris. His performance is sympathetic and very believable. He makes Chris Pratt a real person. This movie also involves a suspenseful bank heist which forces Chris to do extraordinary things. I won't bore you with other details but it is definately a movie worth watching. It's really entertaining, engrossing, and clever at times too. It's kind of an edgy, smart movie and very reminiscent of the film MEMENTO.
