Great Original Thriller

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2015)

Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors working today. I have yet to see two of his earlier films but I can say that until this day he has yet to disappoint. Memento is oozing with originality and demands to be seen more than once, which brings me to one of the "flaws" of the movie. The thing about the film is that when you finish it, you will want to watch it again to put the pieces of the puzzle together, but once you do that is pretty much it. A second viewing of the film does not enrich the experience, the characters don't get better like in better Nolan films like The Dark Knight and really all you do is understand the plot better. Another flaw the movie has is I wish they would have explained the nature of Pierce's condition a little bit more thoroughly. Overall, though this is a great thriller that is definitely worth checking out.
