The film filmed backwards

Rating: 7/10 (31 July 2006)

8.6? Wow. Memento is without a doubt one of the most unique movies I have ever seen, and the acting along with the screen play is great. Guy Pierce is a terrific actor and this is the first film I have seen him in. I've heard a lot about Memento and one of my girlfriends told me to rent this movie without even thinking about it. This truly was a good film. I will never doubt it of that. It keeps you thinking and on your toes of who's good and who is bad.
Because Guy's character, Leonard, has short term memory, he is constantly writing down notes about who to trust and not trust. He is on a mission to find the man who raped and murdered his wife and kill him. All over his body he had tattoo's that would remind him of what to do next. He has Polaroids of people to remind them of who they are, he explains his "condition" several times. Causing people either to be kind or take advantage of that.
It's the film that keeps you guessing and is a great new type of film noir. Despite I could think of a few more movies better than this one, I can still see why people love this film so much. It does deserve to be on the top 250, just not so sure yet if the top 30. But maybe I need to watch it again, still I will never doubt that this was a great movie.
7/10
