Stylish Thriller

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2007)

After watching this film i was left confused as if i myself was suffering from some sort of mental illness. The film itself uses flashbacks and different segments in a seemingly random order to piece together Leonards short term memory loss and uncover his mystery. I found this style of film making extremely effective and original which was what i enjoyed most about this film rather than the plot itself which i didn't consider special enough to be ranked so high on IMDb's top 250. However this film isn't your average movie and i have never viewed something which plunges as deep into a persons thoughts and you get a real sense of the 'troubled' human mind and what this can lead to. I thought Guy Pearce was excellent in it and produced an almost flawless performance as Leaonard. However i think i found it just to complicated from the 1st viewing to really sit back and enjoy it as a film and will definitely watch it again as i could appreciate the work surrounding this film. If you love an intelligent thriller then this definitely leads the Genre along with fight club.
