The Unforgivable

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.

Sandra Bullock has incredible acting chops. She really knows how to draw out emotions from the viewer with her subtle facial nuisances and body language. She just doesn't read out lines from the script; She breaths life into them. She gives her characters dimension. Even though this is a television movie, this is one of her best acting roles. I lovely story of sacrifice and focusing on what is important to family. She is a strong person who stands tall despite condemnation from society's judgement.

"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!

What annoys me the most on IMDb are the reviewers that rate movies the lowest possible. I get it that every now and then you stumble on a real stinker, I sure did, but to rate this one the lowest possible is just ridiculous. So that means this was the worst movie they watched in their life? Really? I guess those people must not watch a lot of movies then. Personally I watch on average two movies a day so without bragging I can say I watched thousands of movies in my life. The Unforgivable is certainly ranked in the better thousands, without question. Maybe the story unfolds a bit slow, and in my case was a bit predictable, but it still remains a good entertaining movie, with good actors, and a more than decent cinematography. The story is emotional, a good drama, with some crime elements that made it more than enjoyable to watch. It's certainly not a ten star movie but rating it the lowest is just too ridiculous for words. Those people should be banned from IMDb.

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.
