disneydts It was a thrilling movie and I loved it...I don't know why most of the people don't like this movie

Ken Adams Some laughable parts: 1. Julia character is hard to like. Girlfriend, spit out what you want to say and stop moping! 2. When the stabbed ex bf saw Tessa, he knew it was her doing that quickly? While in pain! 3. Duh, phone missing, ring missing, watch missing, unknown phone calls. Yet they can't put 2 and 2 together. 4. Dumb police. Like it's hard to believe someone else can create a fake Facebook account? 5. After she was released with doubts from police, they found her at her fiancé ex house, dead, fiancé beaten, and they all of a sudden believe her? 6. And who stabs someone in the leg in own house and drives away? 7. Julia seems to navigate Tessa mansion pretty well, under stress much less. 8. And how did fiancé afford that house in LA!

SnoopyStyle Julia Banks (Rosario Dawson) is interrogated by the police after his violent ex Michael Vargas is found killed in her home. The cops accuse her of luring him to his death. The movie flashes back six months. Julia's restraining order against Michael has expired. She is scaling back her professional life to move in with David Connover (Geoff Stults) and his daughter Lily. His ex-wife Tessa (Katherine Heigl) is not so happy especially after finding his plan to marry Julia.By revealing essentially the entire movie from the start, there is nothing surprising or compelling for the most part. I end up waiting for the inevitable all the way thru the movie. Heigl works as a villain. This is a melodrama with no drama. Julia has Tessa's records hacked and discovers some incriminating info. It seems like something to share with the cops. At least, she should be asking for a lawyer. The last act has numerous little flaws although I stopped caring well before that.

writeguyr Katherine Heigl shows her acting prowess and versatility switching from soft comedy fluff to hard dramatic fare and does so in an effortlessly fashion. In "Unforgettable" she portrays Tessa Connover the gorgeous tall slender blonde doll that had it all, but lost her hunky husband GQ model type David Connover, and her little doll of a young daughter, losing her past life in a divorce.It is very easy to pick up on the Barbie doll comparison for Tessa. But what does Barbie represent? The ultimate beauty, superior to everyone else. In this film the else is Julia Banks (Rasario Dawson) a light skinned beautiful black woman who was a troubled youth and had a relationship with an abusive man, whom she has a restraining order against, after he had beaten her.There is a dichotomy between Tessa and Julia that is very evident. But you have to believe that the filmmakers were playing the race card to boost viewer's interest. For would it have been as interesting if Julia had been a Caucasian brunette? The filmmaker director Denise Di Novi also played it safe by not showing graphically what would have happened in a situation such as this.Tessa growing up in an affluent white society, surrounded by mostly white friends and associates, probably would have harbored some racist feelings. Then Julia the only black character in this group setting would have had some racism directed at her by Tessa. In reality Tessa most likely would have had this inner racism come to the surface, when confronting Julia. Yet all of this is swept under the rug and handled in a pristine sanitized manner by the filmmaker and writer.You see a few years back black actors had protested vehemently about not enough roles for blacks and the fact that blacks were not nominated for any awards. So the mostly white Hollywood community took notice and began offering more roles to black actors and awards for them followed shortly afterwards.I was very disappointed that director Di Novi handled this film with such kid gloves, making such a pristine sanitized version of what society is really like. By not showing what a black woman entering such a situation would in reality face. Tessa without a doubt would have been a closet racist. Her mother Helen/Lovey (Cheryl Ladd) as child with her affluent upbringing most likely had black servants working for her parents, waiting on her needs. She and Tessa being brought up on the belief of white superiority. They of course keep it in the closet A black female director would have not been afraid to show a real gritty graphic down to Earth real story. With all the racists feelings coming out from Tessa. Without a doubt during Tessa's and Julia's confrontation Tessa would have uttered the N word, and when talking to her ex-husband David she would have uttered it. So we were handed a sterilized version without any reality. So Hollywood let black film directors tell the graphic real story of what black characters would endure.
