Review of Mister Buddwing

With a story as confusing as the situation described by it, Mr. Buddwing ranks among the few movies made the way the lead character is really experiencing the story. Characters shift from confused recollections to reality and back as an amnesiac tries to piece together his few memories, his location, and an obscure scrap of paper with a phone number on it. As bits of memory resurface, "Mr. Buddwing" (as he has arbitrarily named himself) wonders if he could be the killer described in the news, but also feels a compulsion to rescue the women he encounters: a lonely socialite, a suicidal divorcée, and a captivating student.

Although not the best performances by any of the actors, the engaging story and rare style make this movie a must-see for any fans of the genre or the performers. Anyone who appreciates the song "D.O.A." by Bloodrock will appreciate the style of this story.
