Just going into the "deep blue" ; until now this sounds to much like Total Recall...of which some parts are turned upside down.
My take -
After CIA's top agent starts to 'recall' that he and the woman of his dreams where investigating a CIA scandal. his agency targets them.
Or going further down the rabbit hole...
"Total Recall" leads to "Mr.& Mrs Smith" leads to "The Bourne Identity" ; with the final 'sum' pictured in a hopefully realistic "Inception" setting...
After suffering a concussion at a holiday suvival trip, the CIA's top agent 'recalls' his partnership with a foxy female agent to uncover an inside corruption scandal,. Now a deadly 'rabbit hole game' unfolds. -- Deeper Blue
Before being made into a movie a lot of of Hollywood's best ['CIA agent'] scripts are thrown into the worlds best logline mixer'; the 'Deep Blue' of Hollywood's major studio's.
How a 'computer error=concussion' helped an agent beat America's leading agency.

Both really helpful comments I appreciate the help
Definitely too many words used to describe the elements of the story in this logline as Richiev explained.
Best to employ economy in a logline describe less crucial elements more accurately than more vaguely.
The inciting incident is not clearly enough defined, currently you have: "...begins to experience memories of another life," This means he sees stuff inside his head it is not very cinematic, subjectively perceived as a product of his own imagination and lacks a specific position on the story's time line.
Also if these are indeed memories in his mind, he should not be able to distinguish between them being from another life or his own as far as he should be concerned they are his. You can then make him discover later that they were planted in his mind by someone or he has a supernatural connection with another mind.
Lastly memories from another life lacks detail because we don't know what these memories are. Best to describe the nature of the memories to specify what it is he is up against.
Perhaps better to describe the inciting incident as a powerful event which significant effects on his life were objectively noticed by others around him and made the spectacle more cinematic.
For example: After visions of a brutal murder from his passed cause a CIA agent to crash his car he goes against orders to find a woman from his vision only to become targets themselves.
Hope this helps.
