Edge of Your Seat

The movie that left me “on the edge of my seat” when I watched it the first time, was Memento. This movie was so successful in creating suspense with the main character, because you are seeing things as they are happening, from the character’s point of view. Instantly immersing you in the plot. I like how the movie creates the feeling of unrest because the character never knows quite who to trust. The use of flashbacks is very effective because we are seeing the character making sense out of things at the same time he is recalling them. This movie left me questioning, “What the heck just happened?” prompting me to instantly re-watch the film, to see it from a different perspective.
