Dans un futur proche, les individus les plus aisés portent des puces électroniques qui enregistrent tous leurs faits et gestes. Lorsqu'ils décèdent, ces implants sont retirés, et les images de leur vie peuvent être alors montées et diffusées lors de leurs obsèques. Alan Hakman, "monteur" des plus demandés, retrouve un jour dans l'un de ces films-mémoire une image de son enfance qui le hante depuis toujours. Cette découverte va l'amener à chercher la vérité sur sa propre histoire... (Metropolitan FilmExport)

A film with a lot of great ideas, a really great performance by Robin Williams and great music by Brian Tyler. It is spoiled only by minor blemishes, but there are quite a few of them (for example, that nobody checks the cutters if they (don't) have an implant), and that’s why four stars are just right. I couldn't give less for that extremely emotional look into my own past.

The reservations of some people regarding the unutilized potential of the film have, of course, a rational core; however, my low rating stems from the very essence of the screenplay. The concept is handled in a nonsensical way. In real life, the technology described in the film would not function like this. Its usage would be completely different, involving secret services, the military, and the underworld. I think this invention would definitely fall into the category of forbidden technologies. At first glance, it is evident how huge the risks it brings to society and individuals are, and it would certainly be officially banned. Implanting such a thing in one's child is as reasonable as implanting a dangerous explosive - probably even more dangerous. The screenplay simply does not hold up. Overall impression: 40%.

It's such a shame because Omar Naim had an incredibly good premise that I found very engaging from the beginning. However, then it all got tangled up, and from an interesting premise, it turned into a completely uninteresting film, which not even Robin Williams could save, even though he once again played a great dramatic role. The ending is just all wrong and it makes for a movie about nothing.
