Memory (2022 film)

Memory is a 2022 American action thriller film starring Liam Neeson as a hitman with early dementia who must go on the run after declining a contract on a young girl.

He is assigned to kill a man in El Paso, Texas, where he grew up and where his brother lives in a nursing home due to severe Alzheimer's disease.

Meanwhile, Vincent Serra of the FBI's Child Exploitation Task Force is undercover in El Paso trying to arrest "Papa Leon," a sex trafficker.

Alex retreats to a former bakery once owned by his late father where he reviews the stolen flash drive and finds footage of Davana's son, Randy, sexually assaulting Beatriz.

Narrowly avoiding an FBI raid, Alex infiltrates Davana's penthouse which is heavily guarded by corrupt El Paso police.

They find Alex under police custody in the hospital where he tells them that he has evidence of Davana threatening Van Camp but cannot remember where he placed the recording.

In February 2020, it was announced that Liam Neeson will play an expert assassin with a reputation for discreet precision in Memory, an action thriller film directed by Martin Campbell.

[4] In April 2021, principal photography commenced in Bulgaria with Guy Pearce, Monica Bellucci, Harold Torres, Taj Atwal, and Ray Fearon joining the cast.

The website's consensus reads: "A pale facsimile of better action-thrillers by star Liam Neeson or director Martin Campbell, Memory proves to be one of their most forgettable efforts yet.

[11] Richard Roeper wrote for the Chicago Sun-Times that Memory was "a little more elevated than just another B-movie actioner", that "the 78-year-old Campbell proves he can still direct the hell out of a slick and engrossing thriller", and gave the film three out of four stars.
