Movie #1190 "Memory of a Killer" is a very stylishly made film, good script, interesting characters. Now, it isn't as good as "Memento" but it points back to it with the assassin having to write names, etc. on his arms so he won't forget --- this time, it's alzheimer's. That mixed with having enough --- he wants to do his job, but when he feels for the last time that he is being yanked around and he's next to be the target, he explodes. And the film is the explosion. I really liked this until the end 20 minute sequence --- way too much shooing and violence for me. But up until the end, it was a really smart film, for the most part. I'd give it 3.8 out of 5 stars.
