Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The cast members explained in interviews that the main theme of Bennett Davlin's "Memory" is the idea of seeing something through someone else's eyes, as the main character (Billy Zane) does: an otherwise benevolent person suddenly has memories of committing horrible acts. This is not a slasher movie or home invasion movie. There's the issue of what has been hidden. Parts of the movie did trick me a little bit, and I found it to be a pretty clever flick. It's not frightening or anything, but I liked how they laid everything out.OK, so we could be cynical and say that this is a totally improbable story. So what? The movie is understood to be improbable. I still say that it's a very clever plot. Above all, it's great to see Dennis Hopper (RIP) and Ann-Margret still playing such interesting roles. Worth seeing.

This was a very, very good movie! I thought the dialog was completely realistic and the reactions of the characters to the events as they unfolded were very believable. A great job of storytelling and a great story!!! One thing I really liked was that the background music was just that, BACKGROUND! So many films today have music that so over powers the spoken lines that they cannot be understood. I watched this for the first time on DVD and also enjoyed the "Making of" segment of the special features. Davlin and Badalucco are fantastic storytellers and movie makers. This is a don't miss movie as will be any movie either of these men are involved with. I do wish that the DVD had closed captioning

Bennet Davlin both co-wrote & directed this semi-interesting, somewhat intriguing mystery drama. For a first effort it is not too bad, Its not too good either.(note: a 7 rating in my book is in the fair to good range)To its credit there are 3 semi-major stars heading this cast.Billy Zane--- He still has a good looking body, He is a capable actor. Ann-Margaret, she has been a star for over 45 years & still is pleasing to the eye. also on hand is Dennis Hopper He has been around the sound stages since before GIANT that was 53 yrs ago.,He is still a fine actor. I always liked these 3 players, This is perhaps the reason I rented this film.It is a 2005 movie & only released on DVD this past March (2 months ago). I do not think it had a theatre release.. This is really a B film worthy of a co-feature on a double bill.The story is somewhat confusing, but still interesting, It is also a mystery & a mild horror film, To its credit IT IS NOT A GORE-FEST.Interesting camera-work, with a good score, It runs a fast 98 minutes, however it still could have been a bit shorter.I must mention 2 of the other players.Tracy Helfer from TV (Battlestar Gallatica). She is pretty to look at & may be a good actress in time.All films of this type have a comic relief character, who is the stars sidekick. His name is Terry Chen. A Chinese-American actor with a great smile & good comic timing, thankfully he is not a stereotype like they used to be, He plays a Doctor friend of our hero who happens to have a great comic wit. I want to see more films he is in.Note this is not a really good movie, BUT its is not a bad one, I was not too surprised who the villain was.(note; I will say this it is not the first person you may think it is.)Ratinss **1/2 (out of 4) 78 points (OUT of 100) IMDb 7 ( out of 100

This movie was a great first offering from a first time director.The casting may not have been spectacular, but Billy Zane was very believe as a sympathetic lead character. Dennis Hopper and Ann-Margaret provided a high level of class and coolness to their characters.Using genetic memories as a basis for a high concept thriller is fresh and interesting. Dealing with the pain of his Alzhiemer's afflicted mother, Taylor Briggs (Billy Zane) is a genetic researcher in desperate search for a cure. Through his research, he stumbles across a mysterious powder from the Amazon rain forest. This powder can unleash the memories of your ancestors. After accidentally ingesting the powder, Taylor relives the memories of his dead father, memories that frighten him, it appears that his father was a serial killer. Taylor uses the clues from his memories to figure out who he really is as well as save the lives of those effected by his father's murderous ways.I love this type of movie, and I loved this one, and would highly recommend it. Anyone who disagrees is just smoking rope.
