Reconstruction (2004) is a Swedish film that got some good reviews by critics. We saw the trailer a few times and thought it looked good: romantic, suspenseful, with an interesting twist.
Wrong!
This movie was pretty bad as far as I am concerned. The first half hour was a snorefest, it made us both feel like taking a nap. The story goes something like this: This guy, Alex, has a girlfriend, Simone, who he cheats on with Amiee (both played by the same actress). After he cheats, suddenly no one knows him, even his apartment has disappeared. This part is the only time the movie has anything interesting in it, as he tries to chase down what he remembers of his life.
Now it is never clear how, this happened, or why. And he seems to forget that his life has disappeared once he meets up again with Amiee, who does not remember him either, but still wants to be with him.
The love story is dull, and the plot device is shaky at best...is it metaphorical? Is it in his mind? What the hell is going on?
Take a pass on Reconstruction.
