From director Christopher Nolan comes this perplexing story of a man seeking justice in the form of revenge. Guy Pearce stars as an insurance agent on a mission to seek out the man who killed his wife. Unfortunately he suffers from a mental condition that prevents him from forming new memories, drawing you into an unforgettable, mind-boggling journey as he struggles to remember who he is, his life before the accident, and more importantly—whom he can trust. A unique, elaborate, and mesmerizing movie experience; director Nolan showcases a one of a kind crime caper in which the lead character battles himself and those around him in order to avenge his wife, even though the final payoff may elude him completely! To watch this film and experience the descent into the mind of this character is truly exhilarating; don't you dare miss a single minute of this multilayered, provocative story in which a new plot twist is added almost every minute. A must-see! ***½
