Great movie that requires some thinking

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2002)

I thought Memento was a wonderful, thought-provoking movie. The end-to-beginning storytelling style was very interesting, though it was a challenge to get used to it. After the first half hour it starts to make sense though. Still, it is not a movie you can just passively watch; it does take some effort on the part of the viewer to understand what is happening.
Some have criticized this film as having glaring plot holes. I disagree. Leonard's problem is not what it seems and the answers to many of these "plot holes" are right there in the film. Watching this film once is not enough. Much like "Sixth Sense", the true enjoyment is in watching it again and seeing how all the pieces fall into place.
Well worth a viewing 8/10.
