You will not be disappointed

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2001)

I really enjoyed this movie, it was fascinating to watch from start to finish. Fine performances from Guy Pearce, Joey Pantoliano and Carrie-Anne Moss. I enjoyed the method used to tell the story and it helped connect you to the character. He does not know what is going on and neither does the audience due to the manner the movie is put together. This method works especially well for this movie and the way Leonard is able to function is intriguing and clever. It is not the chore it could have been with conventional story telling and puts you in his shoes with his condition (no more as I don't want to spoil it)Kudos to the director for keeping it all together.
This is such a pleasant change of pace as this time of year you get the typical slew of mindless summer movies. Well, this is the equivalent of a mental thick juicy steak for you to chew on and it sticks with you after you have seen the movie. It holds up well after careful consideration and I fully expect repeat business as people will want to see it once they know how it ends. If you enjoyed "Usual Suspects", "Fight Club", "6th Sense", "Primal Fear" for movies that tell a complex story and sometimes go in unexpected directions then you will like this movie.
