The hype about this movie here in Belgium was big, perhaps too big as they let us believe it was the biggest Belgian movie ever.... Well, enfant terrible Erik Van Looy did what he had to do and copying some US-copmovie but for some reason he did it too much cos anyone who has seen "Memento" will burst out into laughter as this is about a man who forgets everything and write the clues on his arms... Okay but that doesn't make "De zaak Alzheimer" a bad movie, it's even quite good but if you think about it all, the movie doesn't differ that much from a French policefilm with say Alain Delon. The performances themselves don't have to be commented, Jan Decleir is superb but you also have to deal with Werner Desmedt, the sort of Belgian actor who appeared in terrible soaps and now is supposed to be the creme de la creme. Yes, Mr. Van Looy, you made a decent movie but it ends up just in the quite long list of Belgian movies that aren't that bad...
