"Try To Remember" is a mild thriller. The plot is about Lisa (Gabrielle Anwar) who is a detective. She is investigating a crime that happened 15 years ago. It's reopened because the witnesses are starting to die under suspicious circumstances. There aren't many clues, but can she figure it out before there's more victims?.
The main problem with this film is that there's too much exposition and buildup. You have to wait for an hour to see anything happen. The acting is fine, but the mystery itself is a little predictable. The writing could've been stronger. The movie takes the easy way out.
Overall, it's an okay mystery film if you don't have high expectations.

Gabrielle Anwar stars in "Try to Remember," a 2004 film based on a short story by Mary Higgins Clark. Anwar plays a policewoman who returns to her hometown from Detroit after many years, only to be confronted with the old murder case of her best friend again. The killer has been released, and court witnesses are being murdered.
Mary Higgins Clark always has a heroine, one very obvious suspect (male), one or two men who might be suspects, and then one or two men who would never be suspected. It wasn't hard to figure this one out.
The cast is very attractive - besides Anwar, there is Max Martini, Diego Wallraff, and David Richmond-Peck, all lookin' good. Garry Chalk, a familiar face, plays a detective on the force.
A lot of the Mary Higgins Clark adaptations are, like this one, done in Canada, but many have been produced by Sonny Grosso. This one was not, but it isn't any better. All that's missing is Sonny's familiar Psycho-type music.

One of the best MHC mystery adaptations. A police detective investigates the death of her grandmother, and the obvious suspect is the man who murdered her friend 15 years ago. Full of twists and with pretty good recognizable actors.

Seen this a few times and think it's very engaging and well-made with a plot that throws up a significant surprise.
Not sure why it's received median scores, but you'll see lots of dreck inferior to this TV flick that are often rated as average.
If you haven't seen it before - certainly worth a look and if you have a musical ear that melody stays in mind for a long time afterwards.
