No One Likes A Smart Ass

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2002)

Being voted number 10 in the IMDB poll I was really looking forward to MEMENTO but after watching the first few minutes I was confused as to what was going on . Then I realised it was a thriller being told in segments backwards so that the next segment finishes where the previous one finished. Then I wondered where it was heading but I spent so much time admiring the structure , story telling technique and sheer audacious skill of Christopher Nolan`s super smart script I forgot to look for all the clues that explain the story . That`s the problem with this film : There`s clever , then there`s too clever by half , and then there`s Christopher Nolan`s script
