Something different ( spoilers )

At this point I am always looking for something different when it comes to so called thrillers. Something other than, you know, Liam Neeson chasing down yet another bad guy, etc, so for that reason alone I really liked this movie. And I have no problem with implausibility; most movies are preposterous if you think about them too hard. Having said that, how could Martin Landau's character possibly know or even think that sending Zev on this mission would produce the desired outcome? For all he knew, these two eventually meeting each other may have caused Zev to remember everything and the two of them could have had a jolly old time reminiscing! Wouldn't it make more sense to kill Zev himself? That way he would know for sure that at least he got one of them.

I know, I know... Then we wouldn't have a movie. I understand that. I'm just sayin'.....

I thought that too, so then I thought maybe the guy back at the home wanted all the people along the way to be killed, so if any of them were, then it was a success. And he saved the guy's friend till the end so if he was spurred to remember then he'd look back and realize he killed everyone wrongly, and maybe finally feel guilty. But it does seem like the last 2 guys were the ones he really wanted to have die.

I thought so too. Zev went in and out of realty so it is plausible that he could have remembered his previous light. My experience with demensia is that they live in their previous life.
