His memory impaired by Alzheimer’s, assassin Angelo Ledda is appalled to discover his intended target is a 12-year-old girl. He refuses to kill her, only for his boss to carry out the hit instead. Incensed, Ledda vows vengeance and sets out to find the man who ordered the child’s death.

Soon to be remade by Martin Campbell (starring Liam Neeson!), this Dutch thriller is European genre filmmaking at its finest. Featuring a ferocious performance from veteran actor Jan Declair, The Memory of a Killer is a propulsive crime story with style to burn.
