Yeah, I can see that killing it a little... although I'd think it would still be interesting, sort of. For one thing, you would miss the significance of all the stuff he's talking about on the phone, the whole "remember Sammy whats-his-face" and everything. And the backwards idea is just such an unbelievably cool narrative device, and carried off so well -- and it parallels the narrator's plight so neatly, so that at the beginning of the movie there's an entirely different set of facts that seem to be true about who is "good" and "bad" and can be trusted than at the end of the movie.
