Memento is the Psychological Thriller starring Guy Pearce and directed by Christopher Nolan, who you may better know as the director of The Dark Knight, adapted his brother's short story, and the outcome is a fantastic mystery. Guy Pearce has a condition that makes it so he can't remember anything that happened after his wife's death. This film combines mind-blowing twists and turns by shifting through time, starting at the end and ending at the beginning, also providing noir-esque scenes describing someone he knew before his memory loss. There really isn't much of a supporting cast, mostly just Guy Pearce, "That Chick From the Matrix," and Joe Pantoloiano, they provide good chemistry considering almost every time Pearce interacts with them it's as if it was the first time he had met them, and that was a bold move, but one worth taking.
The Verdict:
Think of Memento as a puzzle. Throughout, you think you know what pieces fit, but you find out that that they don't. So you have to search for them until... What was I saying?
I give Memento five indestructible photographs out of five. 5/5.
