memorable, yes?

Rating: 3/10 (17 September 2001)

I just don't know. I was energized by all the hype for this film. I found it rather flat and somewhat predictable. And, I must admit, I fell asleep at least twice - thank God for DVD and I was able to replay it.
I understood to a point and agree that going "backwards" and challenging the audience is interesting and at least new to me. However, this would have been better as a comedy - in the vain of "Groundhog Day" than it is as a serious piece of film making.
Guy Pierce is excellent as the man looking for his wife's killer. His intensity was about the only reason I was able to get through the film. Good supporting cast as well.
Memento is not a "spectator" film. You must watch everything and suspect everything. Perhaps another time I will rewatch this endeavor and maybe understand it.
Good luck to others who are considering seeing this and make sure you are fully awake - watch everything.
3/10 for Guy Pierce and supporting cast.
