And with that realization went all my hopes that this movie would be smarter than it seemed. Then I remembered Guy Pearce was in Bloodshot with Vin Diesel. I thought, that’s why an actor of Guy Pearce’s caliber is in this dreck: The movie’s more than just a boring genre exercise It’s actually going to be about something. This glimmer of hope extrapolated before I could contain it. There’s a moment about an hour in where I thought it was going to do what the best B movies do, sneak in some biting commentary along with the genre expectations. There’s a bunch of characters and plot crammed in here and the movie tries for a mystery vibe with who is trying to kill whom and why. So really, Guy Pearce’s character is just in a lot more scenes than expected. Well, it’s not really about him because his character is so thinly written and his actions so ineffectual you wonder why so much time is spent on him.

You see, Guy Pearce is here too as an FBI agent on Neeson’s trail, and the movie is just as much about him as it is Neeson. Neeson’s character suffers from Alzheimer’s, but it’s the movie version of Alzheimer’s which only flares up when convenient for the plot.Īctually, there’s quite a bit more. So his employers turn on him and he turns on them (Seriously, Stop). Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Liam Neeson stars as a hit man (Stop) who goes on one last hit (Stop!) but can’t finish the job because it involves killing a kid (Stop!!), and that’s the one thing he won’t do (Stop!!!). Between the rating and the director, I took a chance on the latest GLMBS. Memory is rated R and is directed by Martin Campbell, who really is a journeyman director with a lot more misses than hits, but he did make two of the best James Bond films of the modern era, Goldeneye and Casino Royale, the latter of which opens with one of the greatest action sequences ever put on film.

It’s really just one rule: if it’s PG-13, it shan’t be seen. There’s so many of them, and they’re all such low quality that I set rules for these GLMBSs ( Generic Liam Neeson Bullshit). They keep coming at you with a fury the movies themselves never share. Lately, it seems like Liam Neeson stars in a new low-rent thriller just about every week. The only suspense the movie provides is whether I could finish writing this review before I forgot the film completely. Fandango bills it as an “Action/Adventure, Suspense/Thriller.”ĭear reader, Memory is none of these things. I’m browsing movie times online and see a listing for Memory, the new Liam Neeson starrer opening this Friday in theaters.
