Memento

   I bought this DVD because I am a CSI/GSR fanatic. I run the GSRForeverLove wiki and tend to collect anything I can get with Jorja Fox or William Petersen. So, I had to own this film, boy I am glad I do. The film is a hard one to 'get' the first time around, and I am not even going to get into the plot, except to say, it's original. I was enthralled from the start. Guy Pierce is amazing and delivers an outstanding performance. Nothing new there, I've seen him in other films. My main reason for buying this was Jorja Fox, and even though her time in the film is short, she leaves a great impression, and the film is all about her. I recomend this to any mystery fan, and to each CSI/GSR/Sara fan. It's a must own for film fans as well.

   Film noir taken in the sci fi genre maximum. Reminescent of Philip K Dick. A dark, disturbing mystery suspense film that once the story takes hold, leaves one panting for the truth...the narrator is unreliable, but as the hero we are rooting for him, and believe ultimately that he will take us to the truth...Remember Sam Jenkins!

   Hard to explain the plot of this movie without revealing spoilers, so I'll just say Memento is definitely worth a view, maybe two. I do not watch a lot of mainstream movies, mostly because I don't feel like distilling the small amount of good material from the enormous volume of waste that is released into the theaters. But Memento was a terrific exception to the rule, and the filmmakers didn't even have to use special effects as a crutch since the story was compelling.
