Summary: One of the best films of 2001
Review: With the many great films of 2001, none were more inovating, mind-boggling and truly great than this film. Without even knowing the story, the fact that the film move backwards is what sets this apart from the rest of the croud and what keeps you watching. There is something for eveyone in this film, action, drama and suspence.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This movie is great. It is extremly interesting. It will leave you with so many diffrent thoughts. The actors are great. Joe Pantoliano, i think was what made the movie great, he plays Teddy who may or may not be Lenny's pal. Lenny is the main character played by Guy Pearce. He has a memory problem. Anyway watch it for yourself because it would take me too long to write all about it.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: This movie has everything you want in a thriller and more!!!
Review: I have this condition...

Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce, "The Time Machine", "L.A. Confidential") is a man who after his wife is killed goes out to find the killer. The thing is, he has no short term memory, so he can't remember if he does it or not (I sure as heck don't want him running around my neighbourhood). With the help of his so-called friends Natalie and Teddy (portrayed by Carrie Anne-Moss and Joe Pantaliano, who both starred in The Matrix), he tries to find who did it. But who can he trust? Who can truly help him find the murderer? The thing that also makes you think is the way the film is presented (its presented backwards, like the beginning is the end and the ending is the beginning, are you confused yet?!?) I recommend this movie to anybody who can think right. Rent it first!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Tragic Masterpiece
Review: This movie is a testament to Christopher Nolan's artistic ability to direct a well crafted thriller and still tell a tragic story about loss, love, justice, and manipulation. The loss of love, memory, have happened to Leneord (Guy Pearce)who is seeking revenge for the murder and rape of his wife. He lossed his short term memory during the incident. The movie works in reverse, so the thriller is even more compelling.

He is further burdened by two others in his "short-term" memory life: Teddy (Joe Pantoliano) and (Natalie) Carrie-Anne Moss. Both persons are manipulating Lenoard and as the story progresses, one feels sorry for are tragic hero, because no matter how hard he tries and every system he employs to remember events, he is surronded by people who have other agendas for him.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of The Greatest
Review: A classic already! It's one of the greatest films ever, in my opinion. I don't have to say much about this film, because it's already be said.

This Limited Edition DVD is also one of the best DVDs created. Very creative and original. It's a must for DVD collectors.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The fragility of the mind
Review: Throughout this film you are given glimpses into events which precede those already seen, making for a unique film that raises the question, "Can one trust one's own memory?"...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nolan is quite the storyteller
Review: The first time you watch this movie you think to yourself, "man that was great, but what did I just watch." The second time you watch it you think, "wow, what an amazing movie, but I still don't know everything that's going on." And the fact that you don't know everything will keep you watching this one over and over. And the more times you watch this, the better it gets. An amazing film from start to finish, or should I say from finish to start?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Psychological Rollercoaster Man, what a ride!
Review: Leonard Shelby has a condition of extreme short-term memory. He lives in the immediate present tense. He remembers everything that happened to him prior to "the incident" but he can't make any new memories. He can only remember things for a few minutes, then everything fades. He's trying to hunt down the man who killed his wife during that horrible "incident." He takes polaroids of things and writes notes on them as reminders. He tatoos notes and various facts all over his body. He doesn't know who his friends are or who he can trust - every time he meets someone, it's for the first time.

The film starts at the end and goes backwards in short spurts, revealing a little at a time - just like Leonard's memory. It'll take only one jump for you to realize what's happening. Just go with it. When it all comes together, look out!

Guy Pearce (The Time Machine, The Count of Monte Cristo) plays Leonard Shelby to perfection. Each situation Leonard finds himself in is a complete mystery. There's some slight humor in given situations, some fear and sadness. Pearce is so convincing. You find yourself really sympathizing with his character's condition. The two major co-stars are Joe Pantoliano and Carrie-Anne Moss, who also starred together in The Matrix. My first memory of Joe Pantoliano was opposite Tom Cruise as "Guido the Killer Pimp" in Risky Business. Always a great performance.
