Caught in the middle of a nightmare...

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2003)

Have you ever taught of losing your memory and realizing that your wife is dead? That is the problem with Leonard, he doesn´t have the ability to remember recent things that happened to him. He has the desire of finding the murderer of his wife and kill him, as the story goes back in time, leaving us to make sudden conclusions and know a little more about what happened really. Great technique used by Christopher Nolan.
Along with "Betrayal", this is one of the films that goes back in time, but totally different stories, although I have to say that "Memento" sounds better, has better acting (sorry Ben Kingsley) and better direction. Also better organization of the events occurred.
This is a great film, smartly made and requires constant attention, which captured me right from the beginning, though sometimes, in the middle of the movie, it can be a bit ambiguous and boring. Apart from that it´s absolutely perfect, and I recommend it to anyone who likes good films.
9 out of 10
