Liam Neeson remembered
Sold out, was released in 2009 when Liam Neeson first officially entered a new stage in his action star career. Neeson has made a version of the same movie every year since then, and it may not feel like it was 13 years ago, as the number has been increasing lately. his latest action movie Save – Adapted from novel de jacques alzheimer (Alzheimer’s disease) from the screenplay by Dario Scardapane and directed by Martin Campbell – Neeson is an aging assassin who begins to lose his memories and decides to hunt down scary humans with special abilities. The synopsis looks simple, but it lacks balance right from the start, and the film takes a playful approach to telling a sensitive or impactful story about prostitution.
for the first 30 minutes Save It turned out to be a lot. Assassin Alex (Neson) is hired to kill a key witness/participant in a criminal gang. The deal overlaps with FBI agent Guy Pearce’s Vincent Sera dedicated to combating human trafficking. The two are linked by a key witness Vincent plans to rescue, and Alex is hired to kill him. Save It hosts two competing stories struggling to fit in. Of course, there’s the story of the assassin Alex, who suffers from amnesia, and then there’s the bigger story on the heavy subject.
Scot Williams and Liam Neeson remember.
The film suffers from numerous clichés and metaphors. Guy Pearce plays the honored FBI agent and his screen partner Taj Atwal plays the cheeky loner. Ray Fearon plays a bad black agent who makes Vincent’s life difficult by pranking FBI politics. Harold Torres plays a Mexican agent who whispers or shouts certain profanities frequently and freely. Natalie Anderson plays the chronically drunk trophy wife, and Ray Stevenson plays the boring detective from El Paso. No one feels reality. All the characters are caricatures. Aside from Neeson’s Alzheimer’s assassin, the only interesting character is Davana Silman, played by Monica Bellucci. Sealman is a wealthy philanthropist who has nothing to do with a prostitution organization.
Save It’s too simplistic and numbered to arouse a lot of audience interest. The film could easily be split in two to keep up with Alex, who suffers from amnesia while fighting an unfair contract. The plot of prostitution is boring and lacks authenticity. It’s so familiar and sadly unnoticeable. The film runs for nearly two hours, but its choppy pace, razor-thin script, hollow characters, and poor story management make the film feel overly long and overworked.

Unfortunately, Campbell’s direction will never coincide here. casino royale. Although a capable director, his directing clearly lacks a sense of originality or excitement. SaveDefinitely a pedestrian feel. Save It can be summarized as a summary and your audience knows exactly what they are getting. It’s best because they don’t expect anything out of the ordinary.
Save Opens in theaters on Friday, April 29. The film is 114 minutes long and has an R rating for violence, some brutal imagery, and coherent language.
Our Rating:
2.5 out of 5 (very good)

Memory Review: Liam Neeson’s Latest Action Flick Is Another Uninspired Taken
Liam Neeson in Memory
Taken, Liam Neeson’s first official foray into this new phase of his career as an action star, was released in 2009. It may not feel like it was 13 years ago because Neeson has made some version of the same movie every year since, and they have been increasing in number as of late. His latest action flick, Memory — adapted from the novel De Zaak Alzheimer (The Alzheimer Case) and directed by Martin Campbell from a screenplay by Dario Scardapane — follows Neeson as an aging assassin who begins to lose his memories and who possesses a particular set of skills and decides to go after horrible people. The synopsis sounds straightforward, but there is a lack of balance from the start, and the film has an ill-mannered approach to telling a sensitive or impactful story about sex trafficking.
In the first 30 minutes, Memory proves to be a lot. Alex (Neeson), a contract killer, is hired to kill a few key witnesses/participants of a crime syndicate. This contract intersects with Guy Pearce’s Vincent Sera, an FBI agent hellbent on bringing down human trafficking. The two are connected by one key witness, who Vincent wants to save, and Alex is hired to kill. Memory hosts two competing stories that struggle to mesh. There is, of course, the story of Alex, the assassin with memory loss, and then a bigger story regarding some heavy topics.
Scot Williams and Liam Neeson in Memory
The film suffers from a series of clichés and tropes. Guy Pearce plays the honorable FBI agent, while his screen partner, Taj Atwal, plays the foul-mouth and sassy lone woman agent. Ray Fearon plays the hard-ass Black agent who gives Vincent a hard time by playing with FBI’s politics. Harold Torres plays a Mexican agent who frequently and liberally whispers or shouts a particular obscenity. Natalie Anderson cameos as a chronically drunk trophy wife, and Ray Stevenson plays a bland El Paso detective. No one feels real; the characters are all caricatures. Aside from Neeson’s Alzheimer’s-ridden assassin, the only character of interest is Davana Sealman, played by Monica Belluci. Sealman is the wealthy philanthropist with unsuspecting ties to the sex trafficking ring.
Memory is too plain and by-the-numbers to raise much interest from the audience. The film could have easily been split into two, preferably following Alex as he suffers from bouts of memory loss as he fights back against an unjust contract. The sex trafficking plot is blandly drawn out and lacks sincerity. It is simply all too familiar and sadly unremarkable. The movie clocks in at nearly two hours but, with its uneven pacing, paper-thin script, hollow characters, and the mismanaged story, the film feels overly long and overwrought.
Guy Pearce in Memory
Unfortunately, Campbell’s directing here will never meet the standard that is Casino Royale. As competent a filmmaker as he is, there is a distinct lack of creative flair or excitement in his directing on Memory, which feels decidedly pedestrian. Memory can be boiled down to its synopsis and audiences will know precisely what they are getting. It’s best that way as they won’t expect anything exceptional.
Memory opens in theaters on Friday, April 29. The film is 114 minutes long and is rated R for for violence, some bloody images and language throughout.

2.5 out of 5 (Fairly Good)
