    Rated - 3 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    An entertaining slow-paced thriller

    A good Memento-lite thriller, which is well made with an interesting plot and strong performances from a good cast - Joseph Gordon-Levitt is very good (much like he was in Brick), Jeff Daniels plays the part of a blind man well, Matthew Goode is fine as the bad guy and Isla Fisher and Carla Gugino are both good in their supporting roles.

I mentioned there was an accident, right? The story proper takes place four years later. Chris is working in a small town bank in Kansas.... Read more
