When your memory fails you..

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2005)

Films like this don't come along often..thrilling, masterpiece of suspense and keeps you guessing till the end..
Memento stars Guy Pearce as a man who doesn't seem to remember too much..confused,scared and doubtful of everyone..very well portrayed by the actor. One day in his life is what keeps us muddled as well..
The other characters are unraveled one by one..whom do we trust? The subject of this film is not dealt with often..even the few futile attempts, have been pathetic to say the least..so this one has to be appreciated all the more.. I, for one, truly enjoyed this film and can only hope that more such gripping tales will be told..
I was really impressed by the pace and the sudden change in scenes throughout the movie..from darkness to blurry outlines to daylight..Brilliant!! The lead character's turmoil at his inability to comprehend new situations and trying to piece together a plausible explanation is fantastically entertaining..all the more because the viewer himself has no clue!! So if you like movies that make you ask more questions than it answers and leave you in your seat even after the *(AMAZING)* ending has been revealed..look no further..
10/10 for the sheer surprise element at the end..
