This tricky stuff requires the cinematic sleight-of-hand of a Hitchcock. Dahl doesn't quite fill the bill.

In the annals of cinematic goofiness, Unforgettable deserves a place of honor. This is one of the most convoluted, preposterous movies I've seen.

A B-grade murder mystery with a sci-fi twist.

The plot involves the presence of brain fluid -- no small irony, since the makers of this goof could have used some themselves, if only to avoid concocting a movie riddled with so many ridiculous coincidences and downright stupid characters.

...a decent-enough thriller that feels like it could (and should) be better.

It's a oddball movie, to be sure, but with a little perspective, and knowing Dahl's touch for film noir, it becomes an interesting and welcome item in his filmography; it's certainly less of a black sheep than The Great Raid.

Quite interesting premise. Kept me watching. Would have preferred a different ending and more work for Linda.

Suspending belief is tolerable, but the ending is predictable.

I know that critics didn't like this movie but that's not surprising. Who cares what some critic thinks? This is a good movie. Watch it and see for yourself.

Memory transfer ala Brainstorm works like taking a flu shot, and it gives you memories with camera perspective instead of the actual person's perspective. This is pretty bad.

Reasonably enjoyable film but a bit complicated for me to follow
