Review: 'Memento' has confused mess written all over it


Memento    R            
            Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins) directed this weird and confusing mind trip about a man who has only immediate short  term memory and then loses anything after that. He believes that someone has killed his wife and he begins writing down clues on paper and tattooing them on his body. A mysterious set of people comes into his life that may know something or may be using him for some kind of assassination plot. The flick needs a playbook just to sort of what in the heck is going on. It's not a fun who done it, 'Usual Suspects' feeling but rather a confused hyper ADHD mess that makes you want to walk away or squirm around, but not out of anxiety, out of terminal confusion.
