Not nearly as strong as 'Memento', nor as dark as 'The Killer', but entertaining and engaging. Keaton does a superb job holding the lead. He certainly earns extra points for directing, considering he took up 85% of the screen time. And that's not a slight; it must take a discerning eye to direct both oneself and the rest of the cast.
James Marsden also holds his own as Keaton's son and gives an absorbing performance as a short-tempered nervous wreck. The movie does a good job of illustrating Keaton's mind slowly slipping without being too over-the-top, while keeping the focus on the cat-and-mouse, cop vs. Criminal pursuit.
