The 2nd best film of 2001!

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2003)

This movie is at the least excellent! It is great all-around! It has a very original idea and script, and the direction is filled with creativity. The story is about a man named Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce - L.A. Confidential) who suffers from short term memory. After his wife (C.S.I.'s Jorja Fox - who has bad periodontal disease and can't act) dies, Leonard lounges around budget motel rooms trying to find and put vengeance on the man who killed his wife. He gets helped along the way by a weird looking cop, Teddy (Joe Pantoliano - The Sopranos) and a drug dealer's anxious wife (Carrie Ann-Moss - The Matrix). For those who like solving mysteries and fans of true good thrillers, this is a film for you. Guy Pearce and Joe Pantoliano give especially excellent performances! Grade: A
