    Memento

    Reviewed by

    A jewel among movies from Christopher Nolan and his younger screenwriter brother. You really must be fairly intelligent to follow this film on MEMORY that is NOT told from the usual beginning to end sequence but almost diametrically in reverse. Guy Pierce is so astounding as the young man who has lost all notion of memory and by this I do not mean he has amnesia. I can't tell you more or little bits would be given away. The film is so suspenseful, full of twists and surprises that you will be taken on the ride of a lifetime. It was Nolan's FIRST studio movie and the film received a few well deserved Oscar Nominations. This story of crime, murder, double crossing, untrustworthy characters and the entire underbelly of an L. A. society will want you yearning for more.

    One of the very best films I've ever seen! I'm on my fourth viewing of MEMENTO and it still holds a bag full of surprises, so ingeniously complicated is the film, all in the realm of a very true realism and intelligence. You will often ask yourself: "What is illusion and what is reality in this nifty crime drama? AN ABSOLUTE MUST SEE FOR ANYONE WHO IS A THINKING PERSON! Persons weened on sci-fi and horror flicks, please note! Avoid the film! You won't be able to follow one iota of a brilliant plot.
