Memento is Guy Pierce's best performance so far in his career as he will stop at nothing to find the murderer who killed his wife. Great movie and acting.
This movie is only appropriate for adults, as it deals with murder, deception, drugs & sex. What I loved about this movie is that it is show backwards in short sequences, and it keeps twisting & turning. It keeps you on your toes & involvedin the movie. Watch it with a friend or spouse... I guarantee you'll be talking about it for days trying to decipher everything & give it your spin. Enjoy!
I think CSM have gone a little extreme on this review yes the plot is complex and the premise is mature but the content isnt anything a mature 14 year old wont have seen. The story focuses on a man who cant make new memories and is trying to find the man who raped and killed his wife. Its told backwards in short sequences. This keeps you on your toes and makes you feel the same way Leonard does. There is violence and blood but nothing too extreme a couple of people are shot. There is lots of swearing but any teen who goes to school hears that a lot. Finally there is refrences to the rape of a mans wife. Its seen in flashback. However the scene is very subtle you only hear whats going on making it all the more disturbing. Its a very short scene though so dont worry. Overall this film is fine for anyone over 15 or a mature 14 year old.
