Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2001)

Best movie I've seen this year or maybe my entire life. I advise you not to read my review or anybody else's if you have not yet seen the movie. The following might contain some SPOILERS. If you are worried about the spoilers and yet still wanna read, just read the very last paragraph :)
Amazingly the movie is played antichronologically. This puts the viewers into the life of Leonard, by not knowing what has happened in the near past, not knowing what has lead him into current situation. I was so absorbed by the film for the two hours, I even had difficulties coping with my real life for a few days.
Directing was excellent. The whole movie showed a unique atmosphere, with its unique music and its stylish art directions. Acting was good but I think the casting of Joe Pantoliano and Carrie-Anne Moss caused too much prejudice (because of The Matrix, ofcourse) about the plot. btw Guy Pearce was just the perfect man for the role.
The movie in whole, is excellent and beautiful yet I found a few minor glitches (goofs). I can understand that Leonard uses photographs to keep the memories after the incident, but how does he remember where he keeps his photographs and his camera (how does he remember the system he is using to remember stuff... like in the scene where he finds some documents about the police investigations and stuff). Also I don't get the part where he writes something like 'she has lost a person too bla bla' on the back of Natalie's photograph, since he couldn't have linked the death of Jimmy with the photograph with Natalie and Jimmy together. Also there is a goof in the goofs section about Leonard knowing he has a memory problem. This condition Leonard is suffering from is called 'anterograde amnesia' and from my short studies of psychology in the past, the people who have this brain problem somehow always know they do have a problem with their memory.
I feel the need of buying the DVD version of this film. This movie has now entered my top ten list :) I especially recommend this film to anyone who enjoyed The Usual Suspects, Tarantino films, and Guy Ritchie films. Must see!!!
