Memory plays like a blended cop movie/revenge thriller and exhibits the strengths and weaknesses of both. At its best, it recalls the Mel Gibson movie Payback (which was similarly a remake of an earlier film based on book). Read full review

Memory is by no means a deep film. But there’s something here that lends the familiar proceedings a bittersweet aftertaste that lingers in the mind. Read full review

In the end, “Memory” isn’t terribly convincing, but it’s at least trying for something more serious than most. Read full review

While Memory does not fully succeed in its goals, it’s yet another reminder of Neeson’s sheer presence––a movie star if ever there were one. Watching him act against Pearce is also a brief delight. Read full review

Everyone in Campbell’s movie — from the director all the way down to his supporting cast — deserves better than this. Read full review

We get to see once again what kind of stories producers are offering Neeson, and he's made it pretty clear that he has absolutely no intention of turning them down.
Clearly the money is good, but Memory is a failed action film that employs a ludicrous narrative device to set itself up asWe get to see once again what kind of stories producers are offering Neeson, and he's made it pretty clear that he has absolutely no intention of turning them down.
Clearly the money is good, but Memory is a failed action film that employs a ludicrous narrative device to set itself up as something that could be called a story, and worse, while not a disaster by any means, this is not a good film either.… Expand

It was ok - if the overall plot would be more interesting would give higher rating, but the whole idea about it being about memory and remembering does not really pop up much in the plot except towards the end and even then the whole thing is quickly solved - there couldve been so manyIt was ok - if the overall plot would be more interesting would give higher rating, but the whole idea about it being about memory and remembering does not really pop up much in the plot except towards the end and even then the whole thing is quickly solved - there couldve been so many better ways they could've went with the story to make it really interesting. but as a Neeson action movie I thought it was quite ok… Expand
