Remember Me

The movie starts with a terrible murder at the railway, leaving a small girl to live without her mother. She is the daughter of a detective in chief who is over protective of her. He blames himself in some way of his wife's untimely death and hence tries to keep his daughter away from everything except himself. He fails to realise the needs of a teenager. The daughter hear is Ally (Emile De Ravin).
The second lead actor Tyler (Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame) has a family with an elder borther and a baby sister. His parents have separated after his brother committed suicide.
The story proceeds with Tyler asking Ally out as a part of a bet (a very usual trick used in many bollywood movies too) and then..as always predictable, he truly falls in love with this simple homely girl. Tyler's relationship with his father is strained since, his father Charles (Pierce Brosnan) is a very successful business man who never has time for his family (another very common formula of bollywood).
Slow and steady all the strains start getting relaxed and moving towards normal when we have the 9/11 which shatters the twin towers to disappearance.
The last part with the twin tower disaster makes your heart cry out. The remaining part of the movie is pretty usual with nothing out of the ordinary to offer. The direction is not bad. The acting is also not bad. The only thing that was missing according to me is a script.
