Last Three Days is a complex story about a cop retracing and picking up the pieces of his memories in the past 72 hours.

With a story that reverses and forwards storyline, the writing and directing must be carefully crafted in order the film to come together. In comparison, the movie has similarities with Christopher Nolan’s Memento, but with love, betrayal, and the Japanese Yakuza.

Director and writer Brian Ulrich had that difficult task. And, he got it accomplished.

The remarkable film stars Robert Palmer Watkins (General Hospital), Thomas Wilson Brown (Silverado), Deborah Lee Smith (Star Wars: The Force and the Fury), Roy Huang (Joyful Noise), and Gina Hiraizumi (Hawaii Five-0).

Here’s the official synopsis:

Jack is a police officer with a marriage on the rocks working undercover to take down a Japanese crime syndicate. One night things go south and he wakes up to discover he’s missing his partner, his wife, and the last three days of his life.
