Clever, but not quite clever enough

Rating: 6/10 (13 October 2001)

Memento is a highly ambitious, engrossing film, where the story is told backwards. However, it never comes together -- when you reorder the pieces there are too many glaring plot holes. So, though it's very entertaining while your watching it, it leaves a vague sense of irritation at the end -- it's a cheat. It's keeps promising that it will eventually make sense, but it never does.
