A smart and sophisticated thriller with more layers than the eye can see

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2012)

I feel that this was a great introduction to a great director. That man is Christopher Nolan. While a lot of newbie directors would've taken this material and made the story just sloppy and too flashy. I have to tip my hat again to Mr. Nolan, because he's one of the only directors in my opinion that can find a nice median between style and substance.
Another big reason that I think this film is so smart is because it has an art-house feel to it. That is due to the relatively unknown cast. (Granted there not as unknown now) They include: Guy Pearce, Carrie-Ann Moss and Joe Pantoliano. Though, truthfully if you've seen this movie, the breakout is Guy Pearce. The way he's able to make us as the audience side with him is just a joy to watch.
All and all, Memento is a very smart movie that is just fun to watch and experience. I give it 9 out of 10
