A phenomenal backtracking mystery!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2005)

I've always been wanting to see Memento, most of all because it got an 8.6 rating and I heard it's one of the best mysterious films. So I finally got to see the movie last night. This 113 min long film was worth watching. The backtracking motion of Leonard's days trying to avenge his wife's death was extremely original. Christopher Nolan used excellent directing and the script writer was brilliant. Guy Pearce, I thought played a great performance as Leonard who has short term memory loss and has to use notes everyday on camera photos to get back what he's looking for. I thought it was a very surprising role for Guy Pearce. The movie does get confusing, a bit. I would focus really hard on it to see what's really going on because you might not like the movie if your not paying a whole lot of attention to it. Overall, an excellent mystery that I highly recommend!
