The Final Cut

Interesting concept, poor execution. On the upside, Robin Williams turns in an excellent performance and rescues an otherwise mediocre film. My grade: C

Synopsis: In the future, microchips implanted in your brain record everything you see and here. Then when you die, a "cutter" assembles the footage into a memorial video for your funeral, editing out all of the unpleasantness. The most sought-after cutter is Alan Hakman, a detached man who believes his work can absolve the dead of their sins. While editing the memories a high-profile lawyer, he uncovers a disturbing piece of his own past which leads him to question the way he's lived his life. (via Yahoo)

Writer and Director: Omar Naim
Stars: Robin Williams (Patch Adams), Mira Sorvino (The Replacement Killers), James Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ)
