Memento (2001)
Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife's killer, however, is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of short-term memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he's going, or why.

Dreadfully Boring
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
I probably had big expectations so I did not enjoy the film as much as I expected to. The plot twist is great, but until then I was not fully pleased.
Should've watched this 18 years ago but I liked it.
'Memento (2000)' may seem somewhat pedestrian when viewed in the 'right order' as opposed to the way it is actually presented, in reverse, but even then it stands up as a nuanced character study. Its backwards nature is a clever conceit that's more than just a gimmick, though. It's woven into the very nature of the narrative and, as such, one should not be presented without the other. It also comes as a natural extension to the main character, allowing for plenty of unique moments that challenge audience perception. This is essentially the piece's mission statement and it achieves it in full. The character's are beautifully realised, with the protagonist's inner journey coming full circle just as the movie itself does so. 8/10
For all these years, I had a presumption that its no different than Ghajini(Tamil/Hindi), but I was totally wrong. It was way different, actually there was no link b/w them except the concept(that too was modified). But, seriously the movie let me into a dilemma, I didn't get to understand it completely even after watching it after 18years, may be I'll have to watch it multiple times to get it. I liked the way the movie went backwards breaking all the screenplay rules. I get it on why it is called as one of the cult classics.
