It was one of those movies that I thought could have either been genius
beyond comprehension...or just incomprehensible.

I've seen it twice now (3 times if you count once with the commentary track
on the DVD), and still haven't made up my mind.  Either way, it definitely
does make one think.

  I saw it. and sort of liked it.  But it ended poorly for me.  The
  perfect ending (I thought) would have been him waking up on that road in
  his pajamas.

  I don't know if you saw the DVD, but it also struck me how much better
  the movie would have been if some of the deleted scenes had been left
  in.

  Anyone else saw it?

  What did you think? I know the movie certainly made ME think ;-)

  It isn't straightforward, and although it may be one of those films
  where the writer and director make things sufficiently convoluted that
  the audience really isn't supposed to figure out what's going on
  (because they aren't given enough/correct info to come to the single
  correct conclusion) it is still quite thought provoking.

  A neat film to add to titles such as Vanilla Sky, Equilibrium and the
  Matrix series.
