"Issue an arrest warrant for the captain!" TIFF has revealed the entertaining first official trailer for the action comedy film Arrested Memory from director Sabu, which is premiering at multiple festivals this fall. This is launching first at the 2026 Venice Film Festival next week, before heading to Toronto next and I'm sure at even more festivals in the fall. Arrested Memory follows a detective with amnesia. Ethan Juan stars as Lee – a superstar police detective in Taipei, Taiwan. After losing his team during an investigation, he is haunted by guilt and transferred to a rural police station. Traumatised by the incident, Lee develops amnesia – but is determined to keep it a secret. Soon, he is assigned a new case: the kidnapping of the son of an influential Japanese businessman. As his memory continues to fade, Lee can only rely on his instincts — which, against all odds, lead him to the criminals. Filmed in Taiwan, the cast includes Hsieh Ying Xuan, Moon Lee, Shinchi Tsutsumi, and Reika Kirishima. This looks like a blast! I'm glad the film plays up the wacky comedy and doesn't keep it all so super serious. We need more fun action flicks right now. Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›
