Memory Review: Liam Neeson Exacts Vengeance for Exploited Girls

Liam Neeson shreds repugnant human traffickers in a convoluted actioner with a sadly newsworthy narrative. Based on a Belgian novel and previous film adaptation, Memory follows a hit man with early-onset Alzheimer's disease exacting vengeance for exploited girls. The film follows a trail of bullets and bodies across the border from Mexico to Texas. An overelaborate plot gets lost in the weeds but delivers knockout blows. Baddies get their comeuppance from a man with nothing to lose. A good supporting performance from Guy Pearce adds dramatic heft when the plot meanders.
