  1. Quality Help-l
  2. Summary
    Really Great 4.5

    Memento is quite a mesmerizing film, as the whole plot runs backwards. That’s right, Memento starts with the end, and reverses the chronoligical order that the events occured it. The movie leads up to an entirely unexpected twist ending (or beginning for that matter). While you may think that it’s an extremely confusing movie, no question gets left unanswred at the end. It’s a truly great film that everyone should see.

  4. Acting
    Perfect 5.0

    Guy Pearce is an incredibly under-used actor, since his performance is Memento was fantastic. Everyone else, as well, was great.

  5. Male Stars Perfect 5.0
  6. Female Stars Perfect 5.0
  7. Female Costars Perfect 5.0
  8. Male Costars Perfect 5.0
  10. Film
    Perfect 5.0

    WOW! The direction was PERFECT! Putting together this movie looks like it would have been hell for the director and editors, but they put it together amazingly.

  11. Direction Perfect 5.0
  12. Play Perfect 5.0
  13. Music Perfect 5.0
  14. Visuals Perfect 5.0
  15. Content Help-l
  16. Edge

    Some violence, but nothing too bad.

  17. Sex Innocent 1.0
  18. Violence Fierce 2.0
  19. Rudeness Polite 1.0
  21. Reality

Regarding moviedude’s Review
Agreed Dude. Your review prompted me to reread mine, where I noticed that I’d dubbed Memento a modern day Citizen Kane. As it happens, I also made the same claim about Inception, for which I took some heat from a buddy on facebook.

I don’t recall making the Citizen Kane comparison about any other director’s movies, just Christopher Nolan’s. The guy’s a genius, that’s for sure.

Interestingly enough, ever time I watch Memento it gets better each time. I guess thats why I boosted it up to a Perfect 5. Heck, I think it might just be my new favorite movie.

Great review, izzio.

I’m glad to see me and Wick aren’t the only people who think Guy Pearce is an underrated and underused actor.
