Director Christopher Nolan’s Breakout Film Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary with New Blu-ray Disc Release
Yell! Magazine Review:
Let’s say your wife was murdered. Let’s also say that you have no short term memory and you are determined to catch the killer despite your disability. If you can picture this, then you have the plot to this interesting movie by Christopher Nolan. Guy Pierce stars as Leonard Shelby, a man who uses tattoos, polaroids, and notes to retain information he loses from his memory as soon as he sleeps or becomes distracted.
A film concept that would drive almost any writer and director insane with its numerous chances for disaster, Christopher Nolan does an excellent job of moving the plot forward and Pierce is stellar in this character role.
