Do you want to see inside people's memories?

Robin Williams plays Alan Hakman, a "cutter" by trade who is responsible for editing the recorded video of people's lives (they've been implanted since birth with an EYE Tech's Zoe chip that will record their entire life).
After their death, the memory chips can be retrieved and the edited movie can then be shown in the funeral or eulogy. Because cutters routinely see horrifying images of a person's darker side, they have a strict code of ethics not to betray these and fix it so that even the worst of people can be made out to look like saints. Alan is the best cutter for his ability to absolve the sins of the dead while presenting to the world a perfect façade and as such he has no time for himself or the girl he likes Delila (Mira Sorvino) until his own past turns up in a client's data bank.
Meanwhile some people are against this memory making. Fletcher (Jim Caviezel), a former cutter himself, is one of the front runners in this rebellion against the EYE Tech and wants to prove it is bad to the society. He is out to take down the corporation once and for all. Other people against this process have unique tattoo's designed across their face to destroy their own Zoe chips.
For the most part, the storyline ran well, in spite of some flaws although I though he ending was very weak and in my opinion could have been resolved a lot better.
