Memento



Watched it some time last week. In a word, it was excellent. I know that doesn't say much. I wanted to watch it since I saw Inception in the cinema and was recommended this.

The story is told backward front, to mirror the main character's mental condition. He is unable to make short-term memory, and uses tattoos and polaroids to make sense of things, yet his main aim in life is to avenge the death of his wife.

Like Inception it's an ace movie. The ending catches you by surprise (that goes without being said), and repeated watches will allow the viewer glean more from the (rather) tragic tale each time.

But not something to watch if you want to unwind after a long day at work
