Stars: Liam Neeson, Guy Pearce, Monica Bellucci, Taj Atwal, Ray Fearon, Harold Torres, Ray Stevenson | Written by Dario Scardapane | Directed by Martin Campbell
Liam Neeson plays a rogue hitman with Alzheimer’s in this remake of the 2003 Belgian action thriller Memory of a Killer. Directed by Martin Campbell, it’s a cut above the usual standard of Taken knock-offs.
Liam Neeson has built himself an entire sub-genre of thrillers since the success of Taken in 2010. Often referred to, somewhat cheekily, as the “geri-action” genre, the films all have the same thing in common – grizzled, 60-something Liam Neeson taking out lots of bad guys in as violent a manner as possible.
When Memory begins, it’s very much business as usual for this sort of film. Neeson plays no-nonsense hitman Alex Lewis, who we first meet taking out a shady-looking character in a hospital with ruthless efficiency and a hint of cruelty,...

Fourteen years after the release of “Taken,” there’s a certain understanding of Action-Neeson movies that audiences have come to accept: Never ask questions about his Irish accent, even when he’s playing characters who shouldn’t have one; understand that, whatever the situation, Neeson and his “very particular set of skills” will prove indomitable; and never, ever think too hard about the real-world implications of these shoot-’em-up fantasies, lest the whole house of cards collapse.
“Memory,” the latest Action-Neeson release, is a terrible movie, and the fact that it’s trying to tweak the Action-Neeson formula isn’t even in the top 20 reasons of why it’s so awful. But if the paradigm of this subgenre is going to be changed in any way, it’s going to have to happen in a film far, far more competent than this one.
