Memory

I just started to watch this and was already offended on' how dumb do you think we are'. The scene where Liam puts the dead girl in the trunk and ties the shooter to the wheel and blows up the car in the parking structure. Massive explosion 💥 under the parking structure. Next scene: The cops pull up to the wreckage site but it's nowhere near the parking structure, it's out on the highway and the car isn't burned. The car is upside down and the cops already can see the bullet hole in the neck and saw the registration of the car. Dumber than anything I've seen in a long time.

It appears the declining memory of the main character was lcentral to the plot when the story was being written but then abandoned somewhere in production. A linear tale of fading assassin goes on a killing spree with the cops 1 step behind. Great cast but completely forgettable

Very poor. Sad to see Guy Pearce acting in this nonsense. Original Belgian film must have been ten times better.

Interesting plot with Neeson as an aging hit man with a heart. As usual, he does a great job, along with Pearce.

One of Liam Neeson's best acting credits imo. Outstanding performance. Good movie for his Taken fans.

Pretty good but not the best Liam movie.

Liam Neeson protagoniza este thriller cargado de acción y dilemas morales, donde su presencia sólida y característica sostiene gran parte del peso de la trama. Acompañado por Guy Pearce, quien siempre aporta una elegancia sobria a sus papeles, la película busca ir más allá del típico relato de justicia personal para adentrarse en temas de corrupción y cuestionamientos éticos. La dirección mantiene un ritmo fluido, aunque algo convencional, con secuencias de acción competentes pero sin grandes momentos memorables. Los personajes secundarios cumplen su función, aunque algunos podrían haber sido desarrollados con mayor profundidad. La historia destaca más por el carisma de su reparto que por su guion, que a veces recurre a soluciones previsibles y clichés del género. Aun así, la película consigue mantener el interés de principio a fin. En definitiva, un thriller entretenido que, aunque no sorprende, cumple con creces para quienes disfrutan de las interpretaciones de Neeson y Pearce.

I'm a huge fan of both Liam Neeson action movies, and of director Martin Campbell's movies. I was excited to see these two team up. I find it interesting that so much of the marketing seems to think the main hook of the movie is Liam Neeson having to do action while suffering with memory problems. Honestly, if you wanted that premise, go with Neeson's movie "Unknown". This movie is actually more about a duel between Guy Pearce as strait-laced cop and Liam Neeson acting as a vigilante. The titular memory angle plays very little into the story. The question becomes, what makes this movie stand out from other Neeson projects? The action is helmed pretty well, especially compared to "Taken 3" and other Neeson movies. Liam's character of Alex Lewis is more brutal and deadly, and it is nice to have Liam play a character that acknowledges his age. The film altogther is acted and shot well. It is just the story and pacing where it falls short. So much of the story feels repetitive. Neeson will kill someone, Pearce will come and interrogate the wife. Lather rinse and repeat three times. The movie spends too much time on the type of stuff tighter movies and crime shows skip over. Stuff like Pearce talking to his superiors or getting a search warrant or interrogating a suspect a second time, all could have been cut without losing a thing. The movie also kind of just pitters out without any satisfactory conclusion. Sadly, "Memory" will likely soon be forgotten.

Utter, utter rubbish.

Do not watch this film. It's one of the most boring films I have ever watched. Truly awful, not even the star studded cast could pull it off.
