Critics Consensus

Unforgettable's talented cast makes this domestic thriller consistently watchable, even if its failure to fully embrace its premise's campy possibilities prevents it from living up to its title.

The film ignores the race of the characters completely, but ( ... )the narrative reinforces institutional systems that endanger women of color and protect white women.

Among the less-noted cardinal rules of cinema is that any movie that takes the title Unforgettable will prove to be anything but.

Unforgettable simply fails to deliver in terms of atmosphere and, moreover, the filmmakers fail to develop any sort of subtext from the material that might give weight to the story.

“Unforgettable” is an entertaining, basic film that plays on women’s fear of playing by society’s rules, the ensuing anger when she is not rewarded, a woman’s fear of sacrificing some independence in exchange for accepting traditional roles

[Unforgettable] hits all the right notes and never stops to make excuses for itself.

Even with the cast of this trying their best but for the most part this is a slog of a domestic thriller that has one of the most laughable third acts I’ve ever seen

Starts off well. Katherine Heigl is brilliant. However the ending is totally predictable. Was hoping for a plot twist at the end but no such luck. Same unimaginative finale. When will the psycho woman win for once?

This movie was not good. Not only was it bizarre but the acting and plot were terrible. It definitely wasn't unforgettable

A solid drama & thriller. The most intense was the obsessive ex-wife. Her tricks were the heart of this story. And the scariest.

They were practically begging for this movie to suck when they named it the way they did. The odds of a movie like this being truly unforgettable were already very slim, made much worse by their decision to do absolutely nothing surprising for the entire runtime. That said, I went into it with low expectations & it was refreshing to see Heigl, who I'd not watched in a long time, so I didn't hate it. It reminded me vividly of the type of nothingburger movies my dad used to rent from Redbox when I was in high school.

Rosario Dawson properly displayed what bad acting is. It was so cringe to watch her poor attempt to be believable in any of her scenes. The writing was absolutely awful on top of that. Skip this movie.
