    A gripping premise with uneven execution
    "Memory" presents an intriguing narrative centered on the complexities of human recollection and identity. The film dives into the life of a protagonist grappling with fragmented memories, which creates a compelling backdrop for a psychological thriller. The story is engaging, exploring themes of trust, reality, and the reliability of one's own mind.

    The lead actor delivers a strong performance, convincingly portraying the protagonist's confusion and desperation. The cinematography effectively enhances the film's mood, using visual cues to mirror the character's mental state.

    However, "Memory" struggles with pacing and consistency. The plot, while initially gripping, sometimes meanders, leading to moments of disengagement. Supporting characters, though essential to the storyline, often feel underdeveloped and lack depth, detracting from the overall impact.

    Despite these flaws, the film's exploration of memory and identity provides thought-provoking content. "Memory" may not fully capitalize on its potential, but it offers enough intrigue and strong performances to make it a worthwhile watch for fans of psychological thrillers.

    Great Fun, much better than a score of 5.7
    Memory

    It was Great!

    This was a very unusual script, never have a seen an absent minded assassin and a story that concludes wealthy people, no matter how corrupt, are above the law, and that the only way to take them down is to do it yourself!

    It was certainly very violent, brilliantly done, with lots of gratuitous scenes with lots of blood. I loved it!

    The casting was brilliant, and the role was made for Liam Neeson, who, and it has to be said, has reached maturity. I think he made a very believable assassin trying to carry out some hits as best he could the rest of the cast was absolutely brilliant.

    Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and I'm going to give it a firm 7 out of 10, for the entertainment factor alone, I couldn't guess what was going to happen.
