One of the greatest films of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2001)

I know my summary is a bit strong, but you just have to witness this films attraction through its cast, storyline and final twist to understand what im talking about. I missed this film at the cinema when it came out over here, it was only on for a week, i was pretty angry as you could imagine because i was captured by the originality of the trailer.
Guy pearce is excellent as he plays short term memory victim lenny who can remember everything in his life up to the agonising murder of his wife, he got a bang on the head in the process and cannot remember anything there on.
So begins a trek for his wifes murderer with the aid of a few suspicious characters Natalie (Carrie-Ann Moss) and Teddy (Joe Pantoliano),also with help from his photos and a body full of tatoos describing important referencing. The acting in this film is excellent and it shows how well respected all three of the main stars are in the film business these days.

The reason why this film is different and stands out more than any other film in its genre is because of its overall plot layout. The storyline is shot backwards, so the audience and lenny try and workout whats really going on with his circumstances. It had me fooled all the time.
Sheer brilliance - gets the full grade 10.
