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.
最后开车大叔的剧情能够延展一下就好了，一箭毙命虽然很爽，但是剧情也随之戛然而止。这一切运用中国的老话：螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后。低成本心理剧，尚可。
看来是要彻底榨干尼姆老爷子啊，70的人了，还在干年轻人的活，加一星吧。阅片量少的可以看看
都70了，要的老年痴呆症的年纪了，还在拍动作片，真励志，杀手公司没人了吗？
营救系列杀手版；和记忆并没有太多关系，只是偶发记不起事来；真就全员黑警呗，连FBI主角三人组的上级、上上级也都不是什么好人，最好没有办法继承杀手的遗志执行私刑，也是稍微有点扯。
关键时刻，枪里竟然没有撞针？这个故事告诉我们什么，细节决定成败啊！
标准制式的尼大爷动作基本没有了，很可惜，八成老爷子确实腿脚不太灵便了，可以理解。如果非要指出剧情逻辑上的硬伤也不是不可，觉着编剧初衷就是想表达某种对整个制度环境的悲观情绪，尼大爷扮演的职业杀手身患老年痴呆且病情日益恶化，对于其内心刻画的描写我想电影毕竟难以做到……抛开吹毛求疵，钱权结合对整个生态的管理体系的腐蚀是显而易见的，编剧最后给出的答案也只能是匆匆借靠法外暴力来捍卫善良的人心中对正义的虚幻和错觉。
大叔本是人狠话不多，上年纪变成碎嘴唠叨就很难接受。
结尾太潦草了，皮尔斯的部分应该再长一些，就饱满了。马丁从《英伦对决》开始，似乎就很喜欢这种英雄迟暮的戏码。看着连姆大叔垂垂老矣，皮尔斯也是帅气不再，时间还真是如川而逝。
乏善可陈，连姆大叔想通过不同的角色尝试带来变化，可动作片这个类型本身就很大程度固化了他
5.0分。一部完全立意先行的电影，看似有悲凉高深的主题，看似是双线叙事非常牛逼，实则从故事到人物，从动作到表演没有一个能立得起来。由于成本所限只能通篇文戏，大量不明所以对故事推进效果甚微的文戏，剩下的就是搞笑的逻辑。马丁·坎贝尔，连姆·尼森，盖·皮尔斯，莫妮卡·贝鲁奇，别再堕落了，也别再拿着磕药的演技演这种剧本了。
扎克很好很努力！演技也不错！整体还行，算是近期完整看下来的一部剧了！
连姆尼森是老了，但是一定要给他安排老年痴呆的设定吗
真的当天晚上看的，第二天晚上豆瓣上标记时基本已经忘记剧情了，没有留下任何记忆。
浪费时间。就像泡过十八道水的绿茶，极其乏味。
情节还算紧凑，但是打斗戏确实少了不少，莫妮卡贝鲁奇也已经快六十岁了，连姆大叔七十岁了，廉颇老矣之感扑面而来，但是还是很喜欢他的戏。
剧情七零八落的，为了跟片名记忆呼应上在最后硬生生来了一出靠记忆找到关键证据的桥段，我真是醉了。
大叔还有多少油就要复仇多少遍，虽然剧情越来越弱，也好歹请来了各个老朋友，真不容易
老杀手替天行道，最后连警察也被感动了，杀掉了最后无法指控的女boss，感觉有点警察和杀手角色互换的味道，有点儿意思，有点儿黑，一众脸熟演员粉墨登场，让人唏嘘
这种无聊又老套的故事为啥22年还要翻拍……
英雄迟暮，象一位老朋友，只要片子不要太差到IMDB5分以下，一般还是看一下。
