Plot Summary
Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce L.A. Confidential) and his wife were attacked in their home. The perpetrator raped and murdered his wife and knocked Leonard unconscious. Shelby survived the attack, but suffered an injury that blocks his short term memory. He can remember everything prior to the incident, but everything since fades after a few minutes. Now his world is pieced together with photographs, charts, notes and tattoos. Also starring Carrie-Anne Moss (Chocolat) and Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix), Memento is a profound and gripping thriller that follows the struggles of a man who is trying to find himself within the rag-tag remnants of his past.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Memento is one of those jigsaw puzzles whose pieces snap together more tightly with each viewing. Fueling it all is a performance by Guy Pearce that's as indelible as the tattoo ink covering his body.
Fresh: Full of odd, hypnotic menace.
Fresh: Memento is a thriller for people who are sick of thrillers, a puzzle movie in which the puzzle is actually worth the time and effort to solve.
Fresh: It's all pretty confusing, but then again, so were many of the classic film noirs.

Amazing film
A masterpiece by Christopher Nolan. I would say its his 2nd best film. The story line was amazing. I loved the acting. One of the best thriller mystery films ive seen. One of my favorite movies. Dont rent buy its worth the money.
One of my favourite movies of all time
Watched this with another couple..everyone was silent throughout the whole movie….at the end, we unanimously said "Wow!" and decided to watch it again. We've now seen it 4 times and each time, you understand it better and pick up a piece of information that you missed in previous viewings. This is a movie you want to own.
