Simply great!

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2002)

The confusing plot and thrilling scenes of actions are the characteristics of this great film starred by Guy Pearce and directed by Christopher Nolan. Everything is showed backwards on the movie, what makes it impossible to take the eyes off the screen during the whole film. End is actually in the first scene and the beginning is in the last one. It's an enchanting innovation that can't be missed at all.
Lenny (Guy Pearce) is a desperate man who wants to discover who killed his wife during his house robbery. Because of a blow he received in the head in the attack he has to use notes, pictures and tattoos on his own body to remember what he has just done and to know who people are. Many other characters enter the story what confuses Lenny who don't know if he can trust them or not. We who watch the movie also have to pay close attention to what is happening not to miss the important details that explain the plot.
Guy Pearce together with Carrie-Ann Moss and Joe Pantoliano, who play two of those mysterious characters Lenny must investigate about, have great performances in this unforgettable and highly recommended film. In my opinion, the high position `Memento' has in the 250 rank here in IMDb shows how good this movie is.
