Watch this immediately. Don’t check Rotten Tomatoes, it has an 88% but some of the quotes are sort of revealing. A few people have called it a Memento ripoff. Those people are called Memento fanboys. The main character, the guy from Third Rock from the Sun, writes stuff down in a notebook, that’s essentially where the similarities end. Jeff Daniels, Dumb from Dumb and Dumber, is spot-on as a blind guy. Also, the DVD case mentions something about a remarkable twist. Don’t let that distract you because there’s no remarkable twist (this has caused a little bit of confusion and debate). Easily one of the top five movies I’ve seen this year. I just backtracked through the reviews I’ve posted this year and the other four would be (in no particular order) Pan’s Labyrinth, The Departed, 300, and Superbad. Just watch it, if you’re let down because I built it up to be so great (I can hear it now: “Oh, it was just alright”), I apologize.
