<font size="4"><br>Memento</font>
<br>by David Ng</font>
<p>If maestros of cool David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino were to collaborate on a film, the result might be something like <i>Memento</i>, a smart, high-concept thriller filled with plot twists, time warps, and topped off with a surprise finale that while clever, feels somewhat obligatory in our post-<i>Usual Suspects</i> world. First time writer/director Christopher Nolan is by no means a copycat, but like his predecessors, he is a bit of a show-off. He tells his story in reverse chronology, beginning with the end and ending with the beginning, with each scene followed by one that logically precedes it. Dizzying and wicked, <i>Memento</i> is more than just a stunt pulled off with incredible style: it’s also a character study, or more precisely, a psychological portrait.
