The Forgotten movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: One of those films that leave you wondering if any of the actors read the whole script before signing on. Read more
Peter Debruge, Miami Herald: One of those mysteries in which the initial premise is appealing, but every step toward the solution puts the film on shakier ground than before. Read more
Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune: An often gripping, puzzling and scary trip through Manhattan, remote Long Island beaches and mountain cabin getaways. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: 'You know this is getting out of control,' someone says near the end of the film. No kidding. Scully and Mulder could have told us that. Read more
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: Never comes out from under the weight of its dreariness, despite fine acting, foot chases and conspiracy theories galore. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: It's very manipulative, it's very maddening -- and yet I found it very entertaining. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The more spelled-out the puzzle becomes, the less convincing it is. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: Now we find out what The X-Files would be like without Mulder and Scully. And it's not good. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Maybe you'll kick yourself upon leaving the theater, but while the lights are down you're engaged and increasingly, pleasurably thunderstruck. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: Such unabashed ludicrousness can be fun, in a brainless sort of way, especially when it's coupled with lots of sudden defibrillator jolts underscored by crashing cymbals. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: It's amazing the acting talent assembled for this mess. Read more
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com: If you want to watch good actors do good work, the film will entertain, but some of the plot twists beg to be, um, forgotten. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: We get all of Moore, which is a lot, but only half a story, which is not quite enough to make The Forgotten a winning thriller. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: It's enigmatic in the worst sense, in that every explanation for what's going on holds less water than the last. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: One-half a good movie. The second half goes wildly out-of-control, leaving the entire film in self-destructive mode. Read more
Jon Strickland, L.A. Weekly: A pleasantly nonsensical roller-coaster ride. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: Nestled comfortably in the lower-middle level of the they-won't- believe-me- but-the-truth- is-out-there subgenre. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: The only mystery here, once the lights come up, is why these good people signed on to appear in this sad mistake. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: It has been 17 years since Joseph Ruben last directed a good thriller (The Stepfather), and it may be another 17 if he can't find better material than Gerald Di Pego's script for The Forgotten. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: Moore is too precious a commodity to fritter away her time and talent on a no-thrills thriller as bland and superficial as The Forgotten. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: A pseudospiritual, mumbo-jumbo, science-fiction inflected mess. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: You could wind up with whiplash watching this film, and that's a compliment. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Has shocks and a solid performance, but no intelligence to go with them. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: 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. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The warped yardstick by which this year's stinkers will be measured. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: There is nothing worse than a thriller that doesn't play fair. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: It's the central casting of the remarkable Julianne Moore that gives the movie both a core and a heart, particularly when Di Pego's script starts making its way further and further out along the limb of credibility. Read more
Brian Lowry, Variety: Perhaps wisely leaves more questions than it answers and for the most part manages to maintain its suspense. Read more
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice: Car chases, special-effects jolts, and a socially irrelevant sci-fi story line lifted whole from The X-Files. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Slightly predictable and dumb when all is said and done. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: An uneasy mix between Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the The X-Files, and one not nearly as smart as either. Read more
