From director Christopher Nolan, a unique and intriguing thriller that begins with the ultimate act of revenge and backtracks through time to reveal the shocking and provocative reasons behind it.
Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) remembers everything up to the night his wife was brutally raped and murdered. But since that tragedy, he has suffered from short-term memory loss and cannot recall any event, the places he has just visited or anyone he has met just minutes before. Determined to find out why his wife was killed, the only way he can store evidence is on scraps of paper, by taking Polaroid photos and tattooing vital clues on his body.
Throughout his investigation, he appears to have the help of both bartender Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss), who may have her own secret agenda and police officer Teddy (Joe Pantoliano) whose friendship is always suspect. As Shelby´s fractured memory tries to piece together a chilling jigsaw of deceit and betrayal in reverse, breathtaking twists and surprising turns rapidly occur in the most challenging, original and critically acclaimed thriller in years.

I have never seen a film as unique and clever as Memento. The way that the films scenes order is reversed really makes this film stand out from the others. By using this effective technique it takes a simple story and flips it round into a complex and intriguing plot which has a fantastic twist at the end (although its technically at the beginning).
The acting is also fantastic with a strong cast and a tremendous performance from Guy Pearce who portrays the main character perfectly.
This is certainly not a film for someone who struggles with complex plots as this is as complex as it gets although by the end the overall plot is easily understandable.
Its just one of those films that you just HAVE TO WATCH
!!!
Get your thinking cap on

This film is very different from your average film where you start at the end and work your way towards the beginning. May not sound that good but believe me it is.
The film is about Leonard Shelby a guy who cannot make any new memories due to an attack on him and his wife. Memories to him now are through pictures,tattoo's and notes written the previous day or 5 minutes ago. Any way the idea is that he is trying to find his wife's killer, which maybe you see happening at the beginning of the film.
If your a fan of movies that make you think then you should definitely buy this one. Absolutely brilliant film with top class acting from Guy Pearce.
A different and extremely intelligent approach that works brilliantly. You need to pay attention as it gets the brain working overtime. You will definately not be dissappointed with the story and good solid cast. Very satisfying when its over and you understand what's been going on. Enjoy.
