A Brilliant,unique movie.

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2001)

Momento is like no other movie i have ever seen or am likely to ever see. This a film that that is fairly easy to describe the outline of the plot but almost impossible to describe the story. Guy Pierce plays an insurance investigator who suffers from short term memory loss after a bash on the head during the murder of his wife. this means that he can't retain any memories for more than 5 minutes although he can remember eveything before the accident. With this affliction he tries to find the killer of his wife to inflict revenge. The way the film plays out is quite brilliant. It has little pattern yet it is so watchable simply because all the time you are trying to work out what it going. It is like the viewer has the same term memory loss as the main character.While it is almost impossible to know where you are in the story it is not irritating in the way some films can be when the story is to complicated. Guy Pierce is superb and pulls this off to perfection.But i think a big congratulation goes to Christopher and Jonathon Nolan for the brilliant direction and writing. 9 out of 10.
