As exciting and involving as it is brainy.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Both De Bouw and Decleir are superb.

Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan
This is one terrific thriller with several wicked tricks up its sleeve, each more satisfying than the last.

Van Looy has created a fast-paced and stylish thriller. Declair's Ledda, marvelously suave and vulnerable, provides most of the pathos.

A gripping,stylishly lensed thriller.

The New York Times by Manohla Dargis
The title character in this nicely kinked Belgian thriller faces a unique adversary: the enemy hot on his heels is Alzheimer's.

Director Erik Van Looy has filmmaking chops to spare, and while he has created a sharply shot and crisply paced film, he isn't able to make it all cohere.

The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
Although comparisons to the memory-challenged machinations of "Memento" are inevitable, the plotting here takes a more traditionally linear path.

Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
A lot of thrillers have asked us to identify with assassins -- but I'd be hard-pressed to name one that makes a hitman as sympathetic, if not sentimental, as The Memory of a Killer.

Writer-director Erik Van Looy keeps the action moving briskly. Danny Elsen's cinematography is stylish and the acting top-notch.
