Film noir for the new generation...

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2003)

Memento is a film noir for the new generation. Guy Pearce, Joe Pantoliano & Carrie-Ann Moss all give great performances, of course, with a script this good there's no wonder. Add that with slick direction and a cool soundtrack and you got one of the best films of 2000, if not the decade. Many people say this is nothing but a gimmick picture, which I don't think is right at all. By telling the story the way it does, you have the chance to come to conclusions that you might not have if the movie was told from scene 1 on. All in all Memento is one of my favorite films and another film to add to Christopher Nolan's great resume.
