Excellent and unsettling movie that plays really well with our perception of time (both as viewers and in real life). It was a stroke of minor genius to incorporate clips from Terence Stamp's early career as moments in his character's life... sort of a quick-and-dirty cheat that mimics the concept of BOYHOOD and gets the point across (while, of course, not having the same impact).

 

If you haven't seen the movie, it's basically a small-scale modern noir piece about an Englishman with a dark past who travels to LA to find the man he thinks killed his daughter.

I remember renting this film again and again when it first came out and really liking Stamp's performance. Haven't seen it in years might re-watch to see if it's as great as I thought.
