Features Happenings Movie Review Lifestyles Births Obituaries Amer. B My guess is the creators of Memento aim to test its audiences to see how closely they are paying attention. Then they test them again and again and again. This film was made to be watched in the theater, period.
Memento is well-thought out, a masterpiece of a screenplay and beautifully acted.
It's all of these things, yet it still could have been better. The picture constantly walks a fine line between a thought-provoking thriller and one big clump of chaotic confusion. And it often crosses the line too, as it does in the ending sequence. It's a good film, one that I'd guess has dropped in quality since showing on the big screen, but one that will still have you thinking about it long after the credits have rolled. To see a movie of this genre in the A-grade range, rent 1995's The Usual Suspects.
