'The Unforgivable' is a film that almost demands to be watched twice. When you watch it the first time through you can't help but see it in a certain light. But then a piece of information is revealed late in the piece that changes everything. When a film has a plot twist like this it can either help to improve or hurt the film. In this case it improved it immensely. It made an already strong film endlessly stronger. I really enjoyed this one.
Sandra Bullock in the lead role is incredible. She is a broken human being and I believed it from start to finish. Her support cast is also very strong. Much like in 'Doubt' Viola Davis is able to do so much with so little screen time. She's the one who can go toe to toe with Bullock's performance and when they are both on screen it is something special to behold.
Be warned, this is a pretty sombre watch. I don't think there was a single laugh attempted in the film. It's an emotional ride and one that will likely leave you thankful for the life you live. I highly recommend this one. 9/10.
