    • Quotes

      Sally Sikes: I thought you wasn't hungry.

      Zeke Sikes: [devouring a banana] Oh, I'm starving.

      Sally Sikes: Then why didn't you eat Mommy's breakfast?

      Zeke Sikes: Because if I ate your mommy's breakfast, I'd end up a fat fucking bastard like everybody else in this town. Let's just pretend Uncle Zeke didn't say that, okay?

      Sally Sikes: Okay.

      Reed Ethington: [walking up to the squad car] Hey, Sally.

      Zeke Sikes: Do you mind if we drop her off at school on the way to work?

      Reed Ethington: No, not at all.

      Sally Sikes: Get in the back, you fat fuckin' bastard!

      Reed Ethington: Excuse me?

      [chuckles]

      Reed Ethington: That's real nice. That's real nice. You're a nice little girl.

    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.
