It's stylish, witty, nail-biting, intoxicating and terrifically addictive. A great body of work. It works from all corners and pieces itself nicely. A masterpiece. It'...( read more)

December 13, 2009Brilliant in its strategic use of information by building the story in secret right under your nose, in the way its unreliable narrator keeps you guessing, in the way each scene is necessary yet ambiguous and adds new dimension to the story. The film takes you on quite a trip. Fr...( read more)

February 7, 2010Great movie twist and turns throught the whole movie and the way it all ends up fitting together it pretty amazing and well thought out. Guy Pearce is pretty kick ass and you can see why christopher nolan got to direct the batman movies after seeing this.

February 7, 2010Taught psychological thriller. Intense, captivating storyline that keeps you on board most of the way. Unfortunately, when you get past the innovative mechanic that drives the movie, it seems like there isn't much there. The story in proper order, from start to finish, actually s...( read more)

February 6, 2010When I saw Memento probably 9 years ago, it is THE film that made me really come to appreciate movies and fall in love with them. The way the film is made and how the story plays out backwards is so incredible and still has an amazing twist ending, or beginning however you want t...( read more)

February 6, 2010I like3d it, but I gotta warn ya, my mother and brother didn't. It's cerebral and loaded with flasshbacks and choppy direction because the makers convey a confused state of the protagonist, so the viewer is never certain what is real. Clue: It's a movie. Nothing's real.

One of the Best films out there! A puzzle and not your typical flick where it's all in chronological order. Helps us to relate to Leonard's perspective. Memento deserves multiple viewings.

April 20, 2008I read recently that some critics slated this film, saying that "it wouldn't work if it didn't use a reverse timeline."
Yeah, and Jaws wouldn't work if it didn't have a shark in it.

August 19, 2007Memento is one of the most unique movies I have ever seen and has a continuous stream of surprises. It's so (awesomely) sophisticated you have to watch it twice to get it all. The antichronological is brilliant and offers unique ways to manipulate the audience. A true masterpiece!

June 1, 2007The movie that inspired me to become a screen-writer. This movie is scarily brilliant and done to perfection.
