In this early film, Nolan already sees his author's handwriting - uncomplicated, combined with claims to intellectuality and his characteristic motive of illusion, the substitution of reality, which will then find a continuation in his further works: partly in "The Prestige" and especially in "The Beginning".
What happens to a person who cannot remember recent events? Anything. Or, more precisely, anyone who “reminds” him of something. The difference between objective reality and our senses is what makes Nolan a director. But the problem of falsification of reality, which received a more complete development in the 2010 film “Inception”, is only outlined here – “Remember” is, “in the dry residue”, a fairly standard criminal thriller with a slight touch of paranoia, characteristic, however, for the genre. And the topic, in our era of information wars, is relevant and graceful.
Summary: A criminal story in which the form of presentation clearly defeated the content. A dark detective puzzle, the assembly of which is not a pity to spend time, but the process is more interesting than the result.
