The Unforgivable

"The Unforgivable" is a story about moving forward, about learning to reassess judgments and misjudgements. Script and story are a remake of acclaimed three-part British miniseries "Unforgiving" from 2009. Produced by Sandra Bullock and music by Hans Zimmer. A cast to say WOW and a story that might be a remake but will never be boring. With fantastic acting from Vincent D'Onofrio (John Ingram), Rob Morgan (Vincent Cross), Sandra Bullock (Ruth), Viola Davis (Liz) and the always good Jon Bernthal (Blake). Jon Bernthal should have had more screen time but with a cast like this it would be difficult. The movie starts slow to have a very strong finish. The 112 minutes movie will be over before you know. And you will have loved everything, from the acting, the score / music by Hans Zimmer, the cinematography and the fact that you are watching a movie. A must see!

It wasn't groundbreaking but it was a solid drama, I think the last quater was a little daft but overall I thought it was decent

People are complaining about how are they supposed to feel empathy? You don't always have to. You can dislike the main leads character, although as the story goes on, you do realise the incident was more complex. Some of thr reviews feel lole they didn't watch it all. If you like slow burn dramas, I'd definitely give it a watch.

I was emotionally invested in this film, which delivered in all the feels. The characters were incredibly well acted and with depth that drew you into the storyline. Well made and unexpected.

When this film dropped on Netflix, I was puzzled. It sounded so familiar, yet, I was sure I hadn't seen it. I puzzled over this for a couple of weeks and then began cycling through the reviews I'd posted. Then I saw it, this was originally a three part British television series, THE UNFORGIVEN, which I had given a 9 (superb) out of 10, written by the great Sally Wainwright and starring the brilliant Suranne Jones. Then I hesitated, as a fan of Sandra Bullock (by the way, kudos to her for getting the American rights to this story), I was intrigued, but I knew the ending, was it worthy of this new look? Could it possibly live up to the original? So, with that in mind, I think you might understand my verdict. If you haven't seen the British original, watch this. It is a fascinating concept and Bullock loaded it with A list actors. Of course, her own talent was in full display, here. If you do know the original, move on, there is nothing to see here that wouldn't suffer by comparison. I give this film a 7 (good) out of 10. {Drama}

Greetings from Lithuania.

I liked "The Unforgivable" (2021) for its good story and good acting. It was a bit predictable yes, and a bit manipulative story, but at the end of the day this was a good movie.

Sandra Bullock was very good in this film. I quickly believed to her character and started rooting for her. And like i said the story turned out to be not as original as maybe it was intended - at least for me personally, i did enjoy this movie.

Overall, at running time almost 2 hours "The Unforgivable" was superbly paced - i wasn't bored for moment and good story, solid directing, writing, and very good acting by its lead kept me invested in this film till the very end.
