  1. Quality
  2. Summary
    Really Great 4.5

    I just saw “Memento” and had no idea what to think, what not to think, what to believe, what to do, where to go; all I knew was it was a heck of a ride along the way. And an amazing one.

  4. Acting
    Great 4.0

    Great acting from Carrie-Anne Moss, Guy Pearce, Joe Pantoliano, and others. They all give chilling performances.

  5. Male Stars Really Great 4.5
  6. Female Stars Great 4.0
  7. Female Costars Great 4.0
  8. Male Costars Great 4.0
  10. Film
    Great 4.0

    A spine-tingling “mess-with your head film” that will have you rewinding over and over again. Pay attention because if you miss a line, you will be lost at sea. The story is heartfelt and complex, gritty and imaginative, and darkly creative. Wonderful.

  11. Direction Perfect 5.0
  12. Play Great 4.0
  13. Music Very Good 3.5
  14. Visuals Great 4.0
  15. Content
  16. Edge
    Sordid 2.8

    A very grisly plot involving rape and murder may be too intense for a younger audience.

  17. Sex Titillating 2.0
  18. Violence Savage 4.0
  19. Rudeness Salty 2.5
  21. Reality
    Surreal 3.0

    A very surreal film. Its plot is like a yo-yo, bouncing back and forth, and is almost dreamlike.

  22. Circumstantial Surreal 3.0
  23. Biological Surreal 3.0
  24. Physical Surreal 3.0

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.

Regarding izzio’s Review
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.
