Chris Pratt (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a young man who has problems functioning since a car accident four years previously. He works as a cleaner in his local bank but is trying to get the manager to allow him to work as a teller (which the mgr is reluctant to do due to Chris' faulty memory). Enter some bad men who want to take advantage of Chris so they can rob the bank.

The above is the core plot but what makes this film really work is seeing how the main character deals with his disability (and eventually uses it to his advantage). The film hits all the right marks slowly moving from emotional to nail bitingly tense and you will really feel for the main character - largely due to an outstanding performance by Levitt.

Don't miss it (I'd also recommend checking out "Brick" for another excellent performance by Joseph Gordon-Levitts).

Customer rating: 2 out of 5 stars Stick with Memento.

I have to say this movie was below average. It may be worth a watch as it is on 90mins long but not worth buying. When you look at it this, it is just a poor mans Memento starring Soap and Sitcom Actors.

Dude should go back to acting in 3rd rock from the sun as his skills are non existent. Only bonus is Isla Fisher gets semi nude.
