Retro-segues camouflage an excruciatingly slow pace and overworked premise.

Rating: 1/10 (2 November 2001)

If more movies were made like this, Memento, with its empty story-line and cute direction, would be seen more easily for what it is: mind-numbingly pedestrian schlock. Pearce does well, but this movie annoyingly and shallowly overworks a fascinating premise, as most con jobs do.
