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!

This is a pretty good drama. I wouldn't say it's great, I think a bit above the average even though there are some wasted opportunities and potential.

In fact I had no intentions to write a review. But I'm really tired of all those 10/10 and 1/10 reviews. I just want to let people who haven't watched it yet know that this is neither a garbage nor masterpiece. It's a fine drama worth a watch once. However, there is one thing I could agree that it's a forgettable one.

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.

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.
