If you are looking for a movie to watch this fall break weekend, I would recommend Memento (2000). I checked out this movie having no idea what to expect and found myself gripped by the story and shocked at the ending.
Memento follows Leonard (Guy Pearce) on a personal vendetta to find his wife’s murderer and kill him. There is only one problem. Leonard has a short term memory disorder–he has none. Leonard copes by having a system that he follows with discipline. But how can he be sure the system is not being used against him?
Memento, written and directed by Christopher Nolan, is told in an unusual narrative fashion. It is intriguing and the story will grab hold of you and not let go until the end. I highly recommend this movie, but I will say that you will need to strap on your thinking caps while you watch this movie. It requires your full attention, otherwise you might miss something. With this movie, you do not want to miss a minute of it.
