- 75San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisSan Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisUnforgettable may have a generic title, and it may be a train wreck, but it’s a watchable train wreck throughout.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThe Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenAt the helm for the first-time, and working from screenwriter Christina Hodson’s slick balancing act of aspirational romance and dark psychology, longtime producer Di Novi enlivens the generic mix with a tinge of camp and a sure grasp of mean-girl dynamics.
- 70Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganScreen DailyFionnuala HalliganIt’s all glossily camped-up nonsense with an amusingly inappropriate title, but luridly – and ludicrously – entertaining nonetheless.
- 65TheWrapDave WhiteTheWrapDave WhiteFramed like a phantom in black shadow and silvery silhouette by legendary cinematographer Caleb Deschanel (“The Right Stuff”), Heigl slices through this silly little universe, consumed with her mission, bigger than all of it.
- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreIf this hits, and it could, we could see a whole new chapter in Heigl’s struggling, diva-damaged big screen career. No more frothy, ill-conceived romances, just scary Joan Crawford/Barbara Stanwyck/Bette Davis/Theresa Russell minxes, black widows and back-stabbers. Why couldn’t she become the movie woman America loves to hate?
- 50The Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldThe Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldThat Unforgettable is watchable, at least before it disintegrates into generic violence near the end, is due to the touches of wit in the directing, and to the two lead performances.
- 50VarietyPeter DebrugeVarietyPeter DebrugeIt’s tawdry “Sleeping With the Enemy”-style fun while it lasts, boasting a better cast and splashier production values than the next closest Lifetime movie, while being so ridiculous at times that audiences can’t help but talk back to the screen.

- 40Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesAustin ChronicleKimberley JonesThe film gets there eventually, but one wishes it weren’t so timid about embracing the inherent schlockiness of the genre.
