Memory of a Killer Movie Review

Memory of a Killer is the story of an aging hit man who has Alzheimer's. He's getting to the point where he has to write important details on his arm, such as his hotel room number, who to kill, etc. He's hired to take out some people in Belgium. While there he visits his older brother who also has Alzheimer's but much more progressed. His brother's nurse begins to explain how the disease first presents and the killer angrily snaps "I know how it starts". After killing a few of his targets he is surprised to find his next target is a twelve year old girl. He refuses to carry out the contract. Digging deeper he discovers that his current employers are running a child prostitution ring. He turns on his employers, killing them one by one while keeping the police apprised of his actions. He also ends up having to kill several police officers when he is almost caught. The guy is a stone cold killer who knows he's working on his last job. Just when you think Alzheimer's has got him he gives the police a slip and manages to kill more of the bad guys. When the police complain he just tells him they're too slow. Nice show, blurs the line between good and evil. Enjoy it with your children if you want them to know about child prostitution and that even contract killers can do the moral thing.
