Review
Take a
moment and see if you've come across this
thriller/sci-fi
phenomenon before: A premise that seems like something that could have
been the offset of a great psychological study turns into a tediously
uncreative and ridiculous sci-fi pulp. I could show you twenty per
dozen, and it's not actually very surprising that Joseph Ruben has his
signature on a few of them. He's the ambitious director that rarely gets
his focus right. Julianne Moore provides The Forgotten with a few
moments of good dramatic value, but as what could have been a study of
the psyche becomes a study of the "existential" it becomes neither
suspenseful nor interesting.
