Shaky camera + slow action spoils a good idea

Warning: Spoilers
The shaky camera was annoying me thru the whole move. I liked the concept (someone jumping inside other's memories and even talking to the host), yet it was not developed into anything interesting. The whole movie revolves around proving if some junkie is guilty or not of murdering his girlfriend. I never really cared. The junkie character did not evoke any sympathy.

In the end of the movie they pose a question if memories are reliable and answer: no, they are not. So, say, they aren't reliable for legal procedures. Well, OK, I guess that's common knowledge anyway.

So, all in all, they took an interesting concept (watching memories of _others_, not just yourself) which is actually not new but that's fine, and built something around it, plus shaky camera. Was it fun? Not much really. This movie well deserves its 6-something rating.
