Funny and dark, but needed more to it.

A crime caper which is told in reverse which seems like a bad choice until the end (beginning) of the story where it all comes together nicely. It has a quirky style, some humorous moments and good acting, but mostly, it just rolls along without much of a fuss.

Tight little thriller worth a view

I read the plot summary, "OK, structured like Memento, let's see if it's original." Started out fair with nothing very compelling. Seemed like a standard small town crime story with nothing new beyond the backwards- in-time format. But definitely picks up along the way. Got more interested as I watched and it ultimately paid off very well! The structure truly served the plot and was not just applied to make it seem creative. It was inventive, tautly paced, well cut and an appropriate length. Give it a shot. You might even want to watch it again. I plan to.

Better than its rating for sure!

It's smart, funny, dark and succinct. Makes you use your brain a bit as you rethink the previous scenes with each newfound bit of information. I was pleasantly entertained and actually laughed out loud several times. A hidden gem of a movie that deserves much better than the 6.2 rating it currently has. I'm starting to lose faith in the IMDb rating system.

Funny dark comedy.

I'm not sure why this film is considered a crime-drama. It is really a dark comedy and mystery told in reverse chronological order. It's certainly not a serious crime-drama at all. Unlike most comedies of this sort that make local police look like the buffoons and the FBI agents the serious crime fighters. This film spins things around by making the FBI the buffoons. The exception is the sheriff's sidekick who doesn't seem to get a chance to sit shotgun with his partner in the squad car. Almost always relegated to the back seat.

I thought it was creative and funny.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this movie. The End.

And thirdly, the script was clever. The writer did not just start spitting out ideas on a whim. He actually took time to ensure the plot had no holes, and it was just brilliantly made! Good job!

Secondly, the actors did an amazing job in fulfilling their roles. It's nice to have Dwight Schrute and the Office Space guy.

Firstly, this is not a rip off of Memento or Pulp Fiction. It's got its own originality.

To start my review, I just wanted to say that I thought this movie was cleverly made.
