I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
I don't know why this is going round as a horror movie, it's not even close. Memory is a thriller and a passable one at that.Billy Zane, Dennis Hopper, Tricia Helfer and Ann-Margret star in this clever though ultimately flawed little tale of a man recieving premonitions and his efforts to decipher them.This is evidence once again that Billy Zane is one of Hollywoods most underrated, underutilised and underappreciated actors. The man can do it all yet gets stuck with wall to wall b-movies.Memory has some nice ideas but fails to present them very well, it's one of those films that could have been great if handled by the right people but alas wasn't.Decent enough effort but should have been better.The Good:Cast deliverSome nice ideasThe Bad:Generic deliveryThings I Learnt From This Movie:Billy Zane needs more appreciationDennis Hopper CAN do roles without coming across as weird and/or disturbing
in a very disappointing effort. The plot just can't stick together and the dream sequences and reality get all mixed up and then the ending- completely unbelievable and too many co-incidences all through it.I thought the ending was part of his nightmare sequences as it was so outlandish in the basement of the perp's house, that just never made sense.The script was weak and it seemed like some South American countries got mixed up and Taylor's mother's Alzheimer's seemed like a contrivance to make the plot points fit.A waste of a decent cast in a film destined for the dustbin.2 out of 10.Disappointing.
This was a very, very good movie! I thought the dialog was completely realistic and the reactions of the characters to the events as they unfolded were very believable. A great job of storytelling and a great story!!! One thing I really liked was that the background music was just that, BACKGROUND! So many films today have music that so over powers the spoken lines that they cannot be understood. I watched this for the first time on DVD and also enjoyed the "Making of" segment of the special features. Davlin and Badalucco are fantastic storytellers and movie makers. This is a don't miss movie as will be any movie either of these men are involved with. I do wish that the DVD had closed captioning
The plot of "Memory" goes like that:When Dr.Taylor Briggs is exposed to a mysterious drug while lecturing in Brazil,he is forced to relive the dark,twisted memories of a killer. Embarking upon a lone journey to unlock the mystery of a past that is not his own,Taylor must find a killer whose horrifying work may not be over...First of all I really don't understand the rave reviews this film has on IMDb.I found "Mem-o-re" disappointing,frustrating and dull.Billy Zane does his professional best with what he is given and Ann-Margret is always interesting to watch.The story itself is silly and the film lacks suspense and gore.By the thing lurches to its woefully obvious finale,you'll be knee-deep into snoozeville.I suggest avoiding this one.5 out of 10.
