Most helpful review Memento

  • Simply outstanding

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer from St. Albans , 19 Apr 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    An excellent film. Well directed and acted by all concerned. The way the film has been put together means that you frequently know what is coming, but not how you are going to get there. After you have watched and enjoyed the film as it was intended I recommend watching it forwards .Access the special features section of the DVD. Wait for the 'Memento Mori' picture to move and the pic of Leonard with a pic in his mouth to take up most of the screen (best wait for the words 'Memento Mori' to be barely visible at the edge of the screen). Press enter/play. A screen will come up telling you you have found the hidden version of the film. Click on 'Play'.

    And then watch the film in chronological order including the end credits rolling backwards at the beginning and the opening segment running forwards.

    It will give you a new perspective on all the characters as they are introduced to you in an entirely different way.

  • A boring Watch

    A very disappointing and confusing film. The ending did not make sense to me and after watching it I wondered why the film was ever made

  • Complicated and boring

    Didn't understand this from start to finish. Yes, he was searching for his wife's killers, but far too complicated. I appreciate the film was trying to portray from Shelby's angle, but definitely not my cup of tea. Didn't understand the ending either. Perhaps I was tired!

  • Needs more than just a gimmick

    Rated - 2.5 stars

    Essentially a backwards film that may be considered clever and original, however it needs to be enjoyable & compelling as well. This is neither and ultimatley a forgettable film.

    Wow! Straight in to my top 3 films of all time! It takes a little getting into and you need to concentrate, but it's a superbly constructed film and story. I want to say more but it would only ruin the experience for you. If you like films that fire the brain cells you'll love this.

  • doesn't work

    Rated - 1.5 stars  
    By a customer , 13 Dec 2012
    Confusing,boring,dull and completely pointless film. Yes great idea trying to tell the story backwards but just doesn't work for me. If you were to show the film in the right order it wouldn't even get a mention in a review as the storyline is just a mundane who dunnit which even in its backward state you guess who did it. Avoid even if you are just curious don't rent just so you don't have to look at guy pearce's ridiculous hair
