De zaak Alzheimer (2003)

English Titles: The Memory of a Killer; The Alzheimer Case.
Synopsis: A hitman with Alzheimer has to go to Belgium for a job. But he is assigned a second job that is much harder than the first.
Appraisal: I found this thriller not very thrilling. It is reasonably well directed, and very well acted, but it loses some steam in the second half. Also, there are some things that bothered me, like, why exactly are there two conflicting police branches and what are they? What do the sequences shot in different color mean? Call me stupid, but I couldn't figure them out. And last, why the riddles in the end? There was no reason that I could think of for not telling the cop in a straight manner the information he needed.
Rating: 44
