The storyline of this film is quite unique. You take a lifetime criminal, and inject the memories of a (now dead) agent. This 'criminal' now, for the first time, learns, slowly, how to feel, care for others, and eventually to even love. Throughout the film, "Jericho" is coming in contact with the dead agent's wife & daughter; and Jericho never harms either of them -- because the dead agent never would have.
The little girl accepts Jericho and welcomes him. Jericho even knows how to make the girl's Sunday waffles -- and which side to put the syrup on! This story, for me, is extremely heartwarming!
Apparently, I'm in the minority, as the box-office and the 'critics' maligned the film rather harshly. I don't care. I REALLY like this film. At the end of the film, I was literally screaming for a sequel!
The film ends, and the memory implants, which were starting to fade from Jericho, but the doctor (Tommy Lee Jones) who invented the memory-transfer process, fixes that limitation. So much so, that he really is becoming that dead Agent -- with all his abilities and feelings.
The film ends with Jericho, Gal Gidot's character as his 'wife', and the young girl ('their' daughter) all hugging it out and being happy together -- at the beach; while Gary Oldman states that he, now, wants to hire Jericho (supposedly to be an agent -- like the original agent/husband/father)! I want a sequel!!!!! Wow! I'll take THAT role, too! Sequel! Sequel! Sequel!
