Original and mind-bending

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2012)

Memento isn't like any movie you've ever seen. It's about a man who has a brain disorder where he can only remember things for about 4 minutes. He remembers who he is and he knows he has the disorder, and he remembers everything up until the attack. The movie starts with the end, and works its way back 4 minutes at a time until you know exactly why everything happened. You see the effect, and then you see the cause. It's not as complicated as it sounds and it really flows together nice so even the lesser intelligent watchers can follow the plot. Guy Pearce does an amazing job and he has the perfect voice for a fast talking, intelligent man who has to get things done fast so he doesn't forget. It's Christopher Nolan's first masterpiece and it wont be his last. It's every bit as good as Inception or The Dark Knight if not better. Every film buff should see this. It's an original work of art.
