Memory
Directed by Martin Campbell
Written by Martin Campbell
Starring Liam Neeson, Guy Pearce, Monica Bellucci
Release Date April 29th, 2022
Memory is yet another brain-free bullet fest from Liam Neeson. This time it’s even more potentially offensive as Neeson uses dementia and alzheimers as the tragic backstory for his violent character. In Memory, Neeson is a killer for hire who is slowly slipping into permanent memory loss and it’s as dubious a plot device as you imagine. Why anyone thought that using alzheimers and dementia would be a great backdrop for a generic action movie is beyond me but here we are.
In Memory Liam Neeson stars Alex, a Texas born hitman. There aren’t many laughs in Memory but the idea that we are supposed to believe that Liam Neeson is from Texas is the biggest laugh in the movie. Neeson is Alex and while he’d like to quit the game of killing people for money, he accepts one last big money payday. Alex is to go to his hometown of El Paso, Texas, pause for laughter, okay, sorry, and kill a man who has crossed someone with a lot of money and power.
