The best film in years! YOU won't FORGET it!

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2001)

Two storylines - one runs backwards, one forwards, till they meet in the middle. One man, totally dependent on the handwritten notes, photos, and body tattoos to combat the inability to create new memories. A lust for revenge. The film starts at the end (chronologically) and works backwards to the start (i.e. the end of the movie) Confused? Wait till you see this UTTERLY AMAZING movie!
The timeline runs backwards and the consequences of actions are known by the audience before the action itself takes place. Leonard Shelby, however, (played by Guy Pearce) a man with no short-term memory, remembers nothing of what he does. Though we see the "end" before the "beginning", the sheer intelligence and strength of the story leave us intrigued ad shocked till the curtain closes. I'm gonna stop talkin' about the movie now.........go see for yourselves! Bring everyone you know!
It opened over here last year and it's just a pity it didn't open in the US in time for Oscars 2001 cos it would have won 'em all! The best film I've seen since The Usual Suspects (which it has been compared to)...actually, no, it's better than that! 100%. Great. Brilliant. Utterly mind-bogglingly brilliant. Wonderful.......... I could go on. GO SEE WHAT I MEAN!!!!
