S. O @Col._Angus Aug 18, 2026 I'm not a fan of the whole "let's tell the story backwards" idea. In fact, I think it's a stupid way to tell a story, so I watched this in reverse. I went Tuesday-to-Friday. At least that way you can follow the story without unnecessary confusion. This movie. Hmm. Well, it's one of female empowerment, that's for sure. Our "hero" is a small-town door knob who's clearly had a turn with most of the boys in town, and now she's ready to use and manipulate her subjects to get herself paid. And to help her is the other "hero" a dirty cop who turns out to be a complete and utter douchebag of a character. Are you seeing clearly though the murkiness yet? I'll watch anything Rainn Wilson is in. He's always entertaining. Some of the other characters aren't bad either. But all in all, this movie and the STUPID way that it's played out, are a tough watch. Some of the dialogue, especially the intended jokes, are just flat out not funny. Sorry, can't recommend. This movie sucks See more Claudio C @Claudio666 May 22, 2026 The Mastermind (12,460 – 22 May 2026) On Friday, Sheriff Zeke Sikes and his deputy investigate the robbery of a bank owned by Judge Brad Dawkins on Tuesday. Two clumsy FBI agents arrive to help the investigation. The missing robbers are Ed Burton, who was a drug dealer that accidentally killed his son that his wife Steph still grieves his loss; the former prosecutor Andy Sikes, who is Zeke’s brother; and the lowlife Chris Morrow. Along the investigation, Zeke and the officers find bodies and the viewers learn what happened in the previous days. "Shimmer Lake" (2017) is a different neo noir film and dark comedy with the story told backwards like in "Memento" (2000). However, in the later, the protagonist is amnesic and recalls what happened to him from his most recent memories. In "Shimmer Lake", it is a way to hide the truth and the mastermind of the heist. Benjamin Walker has magnificent performance in the role of Sheriff Zeke Sikes. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): "Shimmer Lake" See more Bruno V @RT13830604 Mar 1, 2025 You know those Quentin Terantino movies? Very basic, but it delivers a good story and a nervous twist. See more Jeffrey P @vanillavoodoo1 Aug 27, 2024 Consistent in what it does and good up to a point, that point being when you have to say: ‘Son, if you don’t start making some sense we’re going to have to tie you up and lock you in the trunk.’ Hated the ending. See more John P @RT17853251 Jul 27, 2024 Well crafted with a twist at the end that I didn’t see coming. See more Arya S @AnyaS May 26, 2024 Thoroughly entertaining as a crime is unveiled in reverse time order. Wry sense of humor and satisfying reveal at the end. Definintely worth the time.
