Memento is a film that continuously screws with your head, but don't get me wrong, this is a good thing.

The whole film plays backwards, which in the wrong hands could make this film just an interesting, but annoying concept film, but here the concept when first introduced does make you feel a bit worried, but gradually gets better and better as the film progresses.

The whole experience is mind boggling, and provokes long conversations after watching it. This is a very well made film which keeps you gripped throughout with a decent performance from Guy Pierce and a plot knotted with twists, making you want to watch it again as soon as you leave the cinema just to try and work out exactly what happened. Definetely one of the most interesting films I've seen for a long time, and easily the best I've seen for the past few months.

9/10
