Very Innovative!

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2002)

What a great idea for a story, and a great way to tell it. You can't turn your brain off with this one. Every scene makes the previous scene make sense, and if you switch off you miss vital plot developments.

The film is all down to Guy Pearce and the incredible editing. His sincerity and complete believability in the role of Leonard is fantastic. How this film didn't get more notice is beyond me. The fact that it didn't pick up the Oscars for editing and original screenplay is baffling.

I just know that I'm going to be doubting what is real in my memory for a few days. Recommended for those who like to think, and want to break from the typical Hollywood blockbuster no-brainer. Well done Mr Nolan!
