What's with the hate??
I don't get why a lot of people are hating so much. I actually find that it was a great movie, and maybe it even deserves a rewatch. The movie is about a trained assassin who has been hired to murder a young teenager. But he refuses. Now, he has to kill the people who hired him before the FBI find him. But, his memory starts to deteriorate. So he has to be fast. Now, that may sound really bad. But it is really good. This film is very underrated. It's like the hunter's prayer but you can actually understand what the protagonist is saying and the movie is a lot better. This deserves more attention. And, I think it is worth your time. - cardsrock - 2 December 2022
Not bad, but a bit undercooked
I was pretty exited for this when I saw that the director of some of my favorite action films was teaming with Liam Neeson for a twisty thriller about a hitman with memory issues. Unfortunately, the unreliable narrator aspect is not really utilized to full effect here. I expected more twists and turns, but instead it's a mostly straightforward story. The story does have a little more heft than most action films though and also boasts a pretty loaded cast.
Neeson gives a fine performance of someone with Alzheimer's, however Guy Pearce is the real highlight here. Memory has some decent action and thrills, but ultimately doesn't quite reach its potential.
