bring a scorecard, you'll need it

Rating: 6/10 (7 September 2001)

Okay, after pondering the ending of "Memento" for about 20 minutes, I think I've finally got it.
Our friend Lenny can't remember anything. He has to write down everything that's happened to him or it'll just swish down the drain in his mind. When you watch this movie, you might end up having to do the same thing in order to keep track of what's going on. Yeah, everything comes together in a neat little surprise ending, but surprise endings aren't always satisfying. Especially when they're way off the wall.
A good movie, but overrated. Next time I want to watch a whodunit, I think I'll go with something more conventional. "Along Came A Spider" came out about the same time and beats this hands-down.
