a Christopher Nolan gem

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2009)

it's hard to comment on this title without giving away major plot points.basically,the gist of it is this,a man has no short term memory due to an assault during which his wife is raped and murdered.he doesn't no who did it or why,but he is driven to find out and bring the perpetrator to justice.but since he has no short term memory he has to use some clever methods just to get through the day,as he tries to piece together what happened.we see events unfold from his point of view.Guy Pierce plays the main character with Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano in strong supporting performances.the time line is a bit hard to follow so you really have to pay attention,and you may have to view the film more than once,but it's well worth it.for me,Memento is a 9/10
