The presentation of the film is structured with two timelines, one in colour and one black and white. The film cuts between the two sequences, highlighting their different purposes. The coloured scenes are shown forward, however the events are ordered in reverse, the black and white scenes are shown as events that happened before. The constant difference in time structure keeps the audience engrossed in the film and gives them a further insight into the storyline.
There is a crime aspect to this film, and questions arising through the plot are left unresolved until the ending of the film. This helps generate suspense and intrigue for the audience throughout the film, emphasised by the scenes of action including a car chase and a fight. Despite the protagonist participating in this behaviour, sympathy is still created by his reasoning being vengeance for his murdered wife, and also his condition of losing his memory.
Here is the trailer for the film, the structure of the film being in reverse creates more suspicion for the audience, the ending of the trailer showing the website name backwards, it shows that although the structure of the film is not shown explicitly throughout the trailer, it is hinted at with this.
