Memory Review: Liam Neeson's Latest Action Flick Is Another Uninspired Taken
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.
