If you haven't seen this movie, rent it now. Its a very cool, very original, very believable little film noir heist film.
Jeff Daniels does it again, another great character role. I believed he was blind. I love this guy. He isn't on screen all that much, but when he is, his contribution is essential and faultlessly delivered.
The lead actor, Mr. Gordon-Levitt is equally excellent in his role as a former hockey star struggling with a disability. So few actors have a gift for understating a role, but he does it.
The thugs are real.
The writing is tight, the direction good, and the cast, on the whole, spot on. I particularly appreciate the choices made as to what the movie shows us and what it doesn't from the guy who both directed and wrote this little gem, Scott Frank. Good job dude.
This film takes the idea of memory loss and reality shift that has been the subject of some other recent films (the names of which escape me and that says it all doesn't it?) and actually makes it work as a plot device.
Bravo, well done.
