January 29, 2009Its a shame but this movie just sucked. Dull performances and an undeveloped storyline.

May 12, 2008A grieving mother obsessively hangs on to the memory of her son who was killed in a plane crash, only to find all evidence of his existence being stripped away. The Forgotten is very reminiscent of an M. Night Shyamalan film in that it's very well made, nice to look at and is ini...( read more)

May 11, 2008A very twilight zonish plot with an interesting combination of twists and turns. Not bad not great.

October 28, 2009What a painful mess! A ridiculous film with awful dialogues and an utterly nonsensical plot that seems like a VERY BAD X-Files episode.

The movie begins with a premise: A mother remembers her lost son, and everyone she trusts tells her she only imagines she had a son. That's a great story idea. But it's all downhill from there. full review

Maybe you'll kick yourself upon leaving the theater, but while the lights are down you're engaged and increasingly, pleasurably thunderstruck. full review

Joseph Ruben's The Forgotten devolves from a puzzling psychological thriller into paranormal X-Files hogwash. full review

May 5, 2008A SOLID movie with excellent acting & a first rate mysterious plot that kept me on the edge of my seat... Oddly underated, considering many of the negative reviews that this movie got. ...very strange ppl!!

September 2, 2007I think it was a total waste of time...I didn't like the story. The only good thing that you get from this movie is that The mother-child bond is too stronge to be broken no matter how hard you try, If she is a good mom of course. the rest of the movie was crap..Total waste of time...The stars given are for Julian Moore because I thought her acting was good. The rest is just nonesense !!!!
If I were an actress I would never want to be in such a movie, what a waste of time, effort & money !!! -
