Featured reviews
I saw the preview for Not Forgotten and thought it was really good. I would really suggest seeing it.
As far as thrillers go, I thought this one was very different, very original. From the very opening shot, I was completely drawn in. There's a great mix of action and suspense, and the scene in the bathroom with the beer bottle is spectacular!! It was incredibly intense.
As far as movies to compare it to, I would say "The Forgotten" mixed with "The Missing." One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Definitely see it if you get a chance!

I went to preview screening at 20th century Fox and I would say this is a solid thriller along the lines of "8 mm"
As an audience member, I was intrigued right up until the very last line (which totally creeped me out, by the way). There's a MAJOR twist that I really didn't see coming; at that point, I realized this was no ordinary thriller. Paz Vega's performance is awesome--- maybe one of her best ever (I'm biased though; I think she's fantastic). Very subtleshe really draws you in. And Simon Baker is a great match for her.
In short: if you like smart, suspenseful, creative, original movies, see this movie.

I just saw a pre-screening of Not Forgotten and was blown away! This is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. It had more twists and turns than a Texas tornado! Dror Soref is a genius- he kidnaps your senses and emotions from the very beginning of the movie and holds them hostage till the very end. The music, by Mark Isham, is haunting and dark. It draws you in even more keeping you in constant suspense. Simon Baker and Paz Vega are excellent- great performances by both. Claire Forlani also does an incredible job- she needs to be listed under the IMDb cast list! This movie keeps you guessing- it one one twist after another. The ending is a real shocker- you definitely don't see it coming! Not Forgotten is fantastic! Everyone has to see it! I want to see it again.
I don't care how bad the reviews are, the chance to see Paz Vega (Sex and Lucia, Spanglish, The Other Side of the Bed) means I will watch it.
As a bonus it has Claire Forlani from Meet Joe Black. I like her, too.
We are treated to violent flashbacks, gratuitous nudity from strippers and prostitutes and vaguely supernatural facial distortions in an attempt to distract us from the bad acting and bad script.
Similar to Taken, it also has elements of A History of Violence. Of course, come may recall Eyes Wide Shut at certain points. In other words, there is nothing original as this film is capitalizing on Simon Baker's popularity as The Mentalist.
Jack/Roberto is not the only one with a secret.

I love dark, twisted movies, and this is definitely right up there... an awesome thriller!
All of the religious rituals are pretty disturbing (but incredibly fascinating). The idea these people really exist and actually practice these rituals freaked me out!
All in all, I thought it was thought provoking, the performances were great, and the ending was entirely unexpected. I got the feeling there might be a sequel; if that's the case, I would definitely see it too.
Long story short: If you're into thrillers with some brains, then you'll really like Not Forgotten.

Toby Bishop: In Del Rio Texas, Saturdays were all about soccer. Fresh cut oranges, screaming parents, cheesy uniforms, teamwork and winning. I used to live for those games, and then one day I just stopped caring.
