Lack of good storyline.

Excellent but underrated film

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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.

While in Salvador, Brazil, in a medical congress, the researcher of Alzheimer Dr. Taylor Briggs (Billy Zane) and his colleague and friend Dr. Deepra Chang (Terry Chen) are invited to visit a local hospital. They find a patient from Amazon with a unique case of tumors in the memory cells, and while examining him, the glove of Taylor ruptures and his finger touches a strange powder. Taylor has visions from 1971, and once back to Boston, he finds that he has genetically stored memories of a serial killer of little girls activated by the powder. "Memory" is a messy and absurd thriller. I was attracted by the cast, with Dennis Hopper, Ann-Margret and Billy Zane, but I in the end I was absolutely disappointed with the coincidences and the insane and totally unbelievable story. For Brazilians, it is hilariously ridiculous the geographic confusion of the screenplay, with a sick patient coming from Amazon to Salvador (why?); Taylor and Deepra are in a congress in Salvador (there is a footage of the city), they go to a bar and the director uses footage of the front of "Barril 1800", in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro instead of a local bar; the interior of the bar is probably in a studio. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Alucinações" ("Hallucinations")

I went to the premiere of it in New Orleans last Wednesday and I thought it had a great plot and fabulous twists! My moms boyfriend executive produced it thats when it started to interest me; it has been slow moving ever since last year when they had conflicts with putting in music. I think the acting in the movie was excellent for Ann-Margret and Dennis Hopper. Terry Chen was hilarious. Billy Zane and Tricia Helfer were pretty good in their roles as well! I think this is a movie worth seeing if you like movies that have various twist and huge mysteries. This isn't a horror movie, but a psychological thriller that has some parts that will make you jump, and even some parts that will make you cry. I give this movie two thumbs up!
