Not that bad, but maybe overrated in some aspects.

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2003)

After putting it off for entirely too long, I have finally gotten the chance to see Memento. I must admit I'm not a huge fan of Guy Richie, and well.....after this didn't change my opinion much either. I did "get it", so that was not a problem, but I believe this will test the patience of many who are not planning to sit down and pay attention (you'll also have to turn up your volume, as many parts of the film are literally quiet, sound quality not very well planned IMO, also Ritchie's character is very monotone). I found it creative with the overlapping back-tracking through time segments,as well as the side story dealing with the "patient", but I won't get into that so to not spoil anything. What I found this film lacking despite the obvious Ritchie un-bias, is a message in this film...maybe it's a good thing? IMHO I think this film deserves more of a "7" than as high as "8.7".
