Worthy Effort, Suspense (MINOR SPOILER)

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2002)

To start off I want everyone to know that Memento was my favorite movie I have seen in some time. The big question on my mind was how Christopher Nolan would follow-up that masterpiece. The big thing that made Memento amazing was editing and writing. Once again both are in place for this movie. I gave it an 8 overall. An 8 is very good to me. Few movies ever get passed a 7. The story was likeable and the characters played almost flawless roles. The scenery in Alaska especially made it a brilliant movie to watch. I love how Christopher Nolan seems like he researchers a lot of background information for his movies. It is apparent here how he takes Alaskan life into account when making the movie. THIS ISN'T EXACTLY A SPOILER BUT YOU STILL MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS:..... I thought that this movie did what Training Day couldn't. It took a cop who was good and made him actually believe that he was no better than the killer. Excellent job by Robin Williams in making him believe this.
