Crap title; film written by Dario Scardepene is based on a Belgian film De Zaal Alzheimer ('The Alzheimer Case'), itself based on a novel of the same name by Jef Geeraerts, which it follows closely.
Liam Neeson is a hit man with Alzheimer's who gets involved in the case of a 13 year old girl who is being sold as a sex slave. He refuses to kill her, but when she is silenced anyway, he goes after those responsible - which goes all the way to the top. Neeson is in his neck snapping mode, and loses the plot rather too quickly. Supporting him are Taj Atwal (Line of Duty), Guy Pearce and Harold Torres. With Ray Fearon (We Hunt Together), Monica Bellucci, the now sadly deceased Ray Stevenson (from Rome), Mia Sanchez.
Campbell, DP David Tatersall, Atwall, Stevenson and Fearon are all British based. Editor Jo Francis is Paul Haggis's sister. It was filmed in El Paso and Sofia, Bulgaria.
We quite enjoyed it.
