Brilliant & original

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2001)

Just when I thought everything had been done in film, Memento proves there can still be original ideas. It has a brilliant plot device, an outstanding script, and terrific acting. I loved it from beginning to end. Or is that from end to beginning?
By the way, the memory condition Leonard has is indeed very real. Over time these sad people do come to know what their plight is, and some things can be absorbed into memory. But they say it just like you woke up in a strange place, not knowing where you are, every moment of your life.
