Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2014)

From the dark, intellectual director Christopher Nolan, MEMENTO, written by Nolan and his brother Jonathan, comes a psychological thriller. A crime driven who-did-what-to-whom. Suffering short-term memory, Leonard Shelby(Guy Pearce), is determined to find the lowlife who murdered and raped his wife. "Don't call me Lenny" will have to use Polaroid snapshots of people and places, because of his head injury. He will even cover his body with tattoos with clues in desperation to jog his memory. Shelby, an ex-insurance investigator, will have to rely on his photos and some help from an abused waitress, Natalie(Carrie-Anne Moss)and a guy named Teddy(Joe Pantoliano), who is or isn't an undercover cop. It is a tedious quest with a twist that will leave you guessing. How well can you tell a story backwards? In supporting roles: Jorja Fox, Stephen Tobolowsky, Mark Boone Junior and Harriet Sansom Harris.
