The Most Cleverly constructed film... ever

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2007)

Memento is the most cleverly constructed movie ever to be put on the big screen. While this is clearly what makes it such an important movie, nearly every other aspect of the film makes it one of the best films I have ever seen. The acting, especially from Guy Pierce, is phenomenal. You feel for the characters even when you don't know much about them, mainly because they don't know much about themselves. From the opening sequence, the movie hooks you in and never lets go. The story moves along quickly, and keeps you guessing from beginning to end. There is suspense, drama, violence, and even some comedy. But the thing that holds this film together is Christopher Nolan's precise direction, which keeps the viewer intrigued but unable to look away. All in all, this is a must see Crime Drama/Thriller/Mystery that will be a life changing experience for most moviegoers.
