Memento (2000)

I can't help but feel this movie is overhyped. 

The backwards running storyline found fault with me, on a practical level. His brain is unable to recall anything more than a certain time ago. But some scenes are longer than others, making his memory last longer at some points. 

The scene everybody laughs at is "Why am I running (gunshot) oh! away!" but that provides the biggest fault. Surely during such a dramatic time, even if he doesn't remember who he was before the chase, his memory should work for the length of the chase itself. 

Other than that, its good.
