The Final Cut
Omar Naim's The Final Cut is startlingly different than a conventional science fiction film. It's a compelling fable that offers a vision of a world where memory implants record all moments of a person's life. Post mortem, these memories are removed and edited by a "Cutter" into a reel depicting the life of the departed for a commemorative ceremony, called a Rememory. Robin Williams' powerful portrayal of Alan Hackman, a troubled "cutter," propels this character driven story that forces us to question the power of our memories and the sanctity of our privacy more

The title implies a good editor, and doesn't deliver
Unfortunately, this movie is poorly edited and the plot is revealed in an unintuitive order. The cinematography is great, and the color scheme looks well thought out. Williams delivers the same performance he does in One Hour Photo, a decidedly good movie, and so there's some tedium to the method...

CAN'T SAY I LIKED IT
Something is missing in this movie - something just doesn't "gel". Robin Williams has played some amazing roles - such as in What Dreams May Come (perhaps his best movie/performance ever). This movie was more along the lines of 1 Hr Photo. But the topic was too big, the "science" too outlandish....

Be sure your sins will find you out.
Alan Hakman (Robin Williams) has the world's worst job. Set in the future, he operates a business that is responsible for "editing" the memories of rich, dead executive-types who's families want their memories to digitally be replayed during their funeral ceremonies. Some offer as much as...

Eerie...and mesmerizing
It's difficult for me, even after all this time and the evidence of such films as One Hour Photo, The Fisher King, and so forth to get it into my head that Robin Williams is not so much a 'comedian' as he is a consumate actor capable of portraying 'on the edge' characters. His portrayal as the...

Not Quite
This movie was fairly interesting, but I wasn't too impressed.The acting was decent enough, that's not what I was bothered by. I kept feeling like everything was so abrupt and there was no flow to the story.I ended up finishing it, but I remember thinking a few times during it that I could turn...

Producer needs to go back to school... to learn to produce.
This movie has a lot of potential.. lots of neat ideas and good starts... and an equal amount of loose ends. The plot is weak (as in, it's difficult to spot, and when you do spot it, you wonder what the fuss was about), and occasionally the producer shows you something intriguing, and then never...

Slightly interesting
The story is an interesting idea of a chip is put within us that creates a film of all that happens in a person life. It is not entirely an original idea but interesting. The idea being is when you die a film is made of your life to show people at your funeral. I thought such a chip if it existed...

Exceptional performance - intriguing movie
Robin Williams in a unique character role in a very intriguing film; highly recommend for those who want an out-of-the-box entertaining flick.

Poor execution, plot was wasted
I highly enjoy purchasing movies I have yet to see, and experience awsome surprises with excellent plots, believable dialogue, and stunning graphics or cinematography. Sadly, this movie fails in all but one of those areas.The plot and cast are under-utilized, and the movie seems to drag on, yet...

Curiously thin
While the premise for this movie is great--a person carries in his brain a chip implanted at birth that records all experiences throughout his/her entire life--the execution is strangely lacking. When the person dies, the chip is removed and, if the individual's family can afford it, "processed"...
