In a near undefined future, people may have a Zoe microchip implanted in their nervous system to permit their families retrieve the best moments of their memories and watch on video after their deaths. This process is called "Rememory" and Alan H. Hakman (Robin Williams), a man traumatized by an incident in his childhood, is the best cutter of the Eye Tech Corporation. The company is facing groups that oppose to the "Rememory" and the ex-cutter Fletcher (Jim Caviezel) is leading these opponents. When Alan is assigned to prepare the final cut of the memories of the Eye Tech lawyer Charles Bannister, his Zoe chip is disputed by Fletcher. Meanwhile, Alan finds that he has also an implanted microchip, which is against the rules of a cutter.
When I saw the trailer of "The Final Cut", I became anxious to see this promising sci-fi movie. Unfortunately, the awful execution spoils the great premise. The story has a good beginning, but when Alan finds his implant, the movie gets completely lost of direction. Most of the characters are horribly developed. Delila (Mira Sorvino) is completely inconsistent, has no chemistry with Robin Williams and their relationship is totally weird. The cutter Alan (Robin Williams) finds that he has an implant, which is against the policy of Eye Tech. But this technology is a monopoly of Eye Tech, and the information about Alan is in the database and could be easily checked when he was hired. Therefore, how could he be hired to the function of cutter? Jim Caviezel has a horrible interpretation, and the relationship of Jennifer Bannister (Stephanie Romaniov - the Lilah of "Angel") with her deceased husband is not clear. Further, if Charles Bannister knew that he had an implant, how could he abuse of his own daughter? The screenplay of this cheesy movie has so many holes and flaws that look like a Suisse cheese. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Invasão de Privacidade" ("Privacy Invasion")
