The movie has a lovely paranoia about it that Pearce, as Memento and L.A. Confidential told us, is a master at conveying.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A fresh, intelligent and thoroughly involving psychological thriller.
I was beguiled by both the eerie moods and the striking compositions, which incorporate large stretches of empty space.
A smart, tense modern film noir.
The film has some of the bleak inevitability of Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man, but without the compelling characters and oddball twists.
