Shortly before he is to wed, millionaire John Willis is visited by Dr. Harry S. Blair, a psychiatrist who informs him that years before he was married to Nancy, John's wife-to-be, and warns him that she is mentally unbalanced.
Blair then relates the following story: After a whirlwind romance in Florida, Blair marries Nancy and starts a psychiatric practice in New York. One day, artist Norman Clyde comes to his office and tells him that an innocent man is about to be executed in Sing Sing Prison and that Nancy is the cause of his unjust incarceration. A distraught Clyde then explains himself to a curious Blair:
Three years before, Clyde meets Nancy, whose maiden name was Monks, when she enrolls in his art class. The moody Clyde soon falls in love with Nancy's honest charm and beauty. Nancy, a secretary, introduces Clyde to her boss, millionaire Andrew Bonner, and persuades Bonner to showcase Clyde's paintings at one of his private showings. To Nancy's delight, Clyde's painting, a depiction of the tragic figure Cassandra for which she modeled, wins first prize at the showing. The evening is perfect until an expensive bracelet is stolen from a guest, and Clyde later finds it in Nancy's purse. After Clyde confronts a confused Nancy about the theft, she relates the following story to explain her behavior:
As a young girl, Nancy lives with her housekeeper mother in the lavish Willis home and plays with Karen, the Willises' little daughter. Although Karen wants to invite Nancy to her upcoming birthday party, Mrs. Willis refuses to allow the lower-class Nancy to attend. A true friend, Karen promises to give Nancy one of the pins her guests are receiving. When Karen realizes there are no extra pins, however, she offers Nancy the beautiful locket she has just received from her mother. Nancy's subsequent joy is soon crushed when Mrs. Willis demands that she return the locket. Later, the locket is discovered missing, and Nancy is accused of theft. Although Nancy's mother soon finds the locket in Karen's dress, Mrs. Willis refuses to believe Nancy and forces her to "confess."
The adult Nancy then admits to Clyde that this childhood humiliation caused her unconscious desire to steal the bracelet at the party. After a forgiving Clyde returns the bracelet anonymously, he and Nancy continue their romance until the next party at the Bonners'. Suspecting that the absent Nancy is spending the evening in Bonner's arms, Clyde leaves the party to look for her and sees her exiting Mrs. Bonner's bedroom just after two gunshots are fired. Bonner is found murdered, and Mrs. Bonner's diamond necklace, stolen. Although Nancy and Clyde are questioned, valet Myron Dexter is eventually found guilty and is sentenced to die. Clyde, however, strongly suspects Nancy, but she angrily maintains her innocence and leaves for Florida.
Back in his office, Blair defends Nancy to Clyde but invites him to his house that evening. When confronted, Nancy denies everything and tells Blair that Clyde is merely jealous. The next day, Dexter is executed, and a guilt-ridden Clyde jumps from Blair's office window to his death.
To avoid scandal, Blair and Nancy move to England, and after World War II breaks out, Blair volunteers his medical services, while Nancy becomes an ambulance driver. Expressing concern over Blair's health, Nancy insists that they take a vacation at Lord and Lady Wyndham's manor house. Just as they are leaving, Blair learns that one of Lady Wyndham's valuable jewels has been stolen. Blair suspects Nancy but is unable to prove anything until a bomb destroys their flat and reveals her cache of stolen jewels.
Although confronted directly, Nancy continues to deny any guilt and divorces Blair after he suffers a nervous breakdown. Back in John's study, Blair, like Clyde before him, tries to convince John to abandon Nancy, who now uses the name Patton. John, however, believes Nancy when she tells him that Blair is still suffering from his breakdown.
Moments before the wedding is to start, Nancy's future mother-in-law, the unsuspecting Mrs. Willis, gives her the same locket that she once took away, and tells her that it is a precious family heirloom. The locket causes Nancy to be overcome with guilt, and she collapses at the altar in hysterics. As Nancy is later taken away to an institution, John sadly realizes the truth of Blair's story, but determines to see Nancy through her crisis.
片子背后的一些理念很不错，悲惨童年对成年后的影响，正义敌不过有权有势有钱的人，混乱腐败的官僚体系，以及对一些社会问题的探索。但是杀人情节真的好血腥好吓人……况且“记忆”点题也挺奇怪的
失忆！记忆！完全没有抓住这个主题，利用好，会是一个很精彩的电影，但是本片只浮于表面了，如果不是连姆尼森+莫妮卡贝鲁奇，我都不想看，老爷子感觉被电影榨干了，已经拍不出精彩的动作片了这部电影其实可以走点心，可惜啊！
故事基础还是可以的，双线并行，使得连姆尼森没有像他的其他电影一样过度英勇，逐渐失忆的设定让他多了一丝脆弱。不过结尾确实太随意了，有点不知该怎么收，于是就这样了。
男主杀手因阿尔茨海默病失忆的设定不错，心中最后的善恶信念也算合理，剧情上不功不过，但卡司们都上了年纪，亮点少了很多。电影简单来说：善恶难分，弱者最后的正义或许只能以暴制暴～
比连姆大叔前两部《Honest Thief》和《Blacklight》要好不少，但是并没有出彩太多。剧情老生常谈，动作戏缺乏紧张刺激感，莫妮卡·贝鲁奇和盖·皮尔斯都加盟了，一种“廉颇老矣”之感还是扑面而来，三星给不再年轻的三位演员
影片还算不错，连姆-尼森这回不是单纯为了自己复仇，而是想用自己的方式杀掉一些逃脱法律惩罚的坏人。影片的卡司很强，只是莫妮卡-贝鲁奇老得不忍看了，盖-皮尔斯状态还不错，连姆-尼森的表现还是一如既往。
暮年杀手情陷失忆迷局，虽有老马丁出手执导，但没有如预想中的效果，明显可见几处场景设定的随意化，无力感弥漫全片。
中国有句古话：不是不报，时候未到！做恶多端的人，总是要得到报应的！
没深度，感觉还是韩国，印度拍这种题材电影可以，老美不行啊
绝大部分按法律来办，小部分按****来办，达到目的即可
本来要等一台挖掘机的，结果等来一群狗哈哈😆
一直揪着心看到最后，两个人发现了那么大一块金子，我就知道肯定会有想独吞的，一个人在沙漠里守着那么多天真的太绝望了，最后一箭不知道是谁射的
IMBD5.6。这片子真的很一般，这位快80岁的导演，之前导演过《佐罗的面具》、《垂直极限》、007《黄金眼》、007《皇家赌场》。最后，莫妮卡贝鲁奇太丑了！
让就快老年痴呆的杀手连姆去杀小女孩，大叔哦不大爷不干了，反手帮警察把坏蛋都利索的做掉了，就这么简单，但让连姆和莫妮卡这么惨死对得起观众嘛，我好几百个片子没看立马就看这部，结果女神被割喉了，过分。
对记忆这个主题诠释的并不是很深刻……反而更多全是尼森大叔70岁高龄那迟缓孱弱的身手和老套缓慢又无聊的叙事节奏
他完全可以不用在那看着金子，他在那反而目标更大，这不是此地无银三百两吗？一个大荒漠一天也过不了一辆车，金子被发现的几率有多小？而且离马路很远。我打赌就是十年也不一定有人发现，而且旁边🈶棵树，这个目标他更好记住。这个他俩可以完全去弄挖掘机回来再弄，傻了吧唧再那守着？
莫妮卡身材还是很赞 只是各种表情很奇怪 连姆尼森 再拍下去晚节不保 不过这种题材还是韩国人拍起来得心应手
叫掘金不如交守金，完全是人为作死，最后螳螂和蝉都有天收
他完全可以不用在那看着金子，他在那反而目标更大，这不是此地无银三百两吗？一个大荒漠一天也过不了一辆车，金子被发现的几率有多小？而且离马路很远。我打赌就是十年也不一定有人发现，而且旁边🈶棵树，这个目标他更好记住。这个他俩可以完全去弄挖掘机回来再弄，傻了吧唧再那守着？
上一秒是右边被插了木头，下一秒成左边了？伤口还能转移？？
