#whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif)
Alex Lewis (Liam Neeson) is an assassin who has symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. He takes medication for his condition. Alex should probably retire but a hitman always has work to do. His boss gives him a new assignment that involves two individuals.
Alex kills the first man but when he learns he also has to execute a 13-year-old year girl named Beatriz (Mia Sanchez), he isn't interested. He won't kill children.
He decides to go after the people who hired him to murder a child in the first place.
He decides to help the F.B.I. which includes F.B.I. Agent Vincent Serra (Guy Pearce) to take down a child sex ring that is run by a powerful businesswoman named Davana Sealman (Monica Bellucci).
If you are looking for a Liam-Neeson-kills-bad-people action flick, you will probably enjoy this film.
Memory is a remake of the 2003 Belgian film 'The Memory of a Killer'.
