Academy Award winner Liam Neeson has continued to churn out hitman related action films with diminishing returns, even firing off a trio of pandemic era releases – The Marksman, The Ice Road, and Blacklight – to keep fans of his very particular set of skills happy, and now he’s at it again in Martin GoldenEye Campbell’s Memory.
A remake of the 2003 Belgian film The Memory of a Killer, the film also stars Guy Pearce, who has great pedigree when it comes to memory related thrillers with Memento, Monica Bellucci (Spectre), and Ray Stevenson (Punisher: War Zone), and you can check out the trailer here….

Directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale), the psychological thriller “Memory” stars Neeson as Alex Lewis, an expert hitman even as an older man. He’s tasked with a job in El Paso, Texas, but when Alex learns it’s to murder a child, he refuses, leading to a deadly situation where he hunts the folks who hired him while also being pursued by an FBI agent (Guy Pearce). Making matters even more dicey: Alex is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and his memory loss forces him to question every decision he makes.
Memory is in cinemas from April 29th.
