The Forgotten (2004) 7/10

Starring : Julianne Moore, Dominic West, Gary Sinise, Anthony Edwards
Director : Joseph Ruben
Running Time : 91 mins

Telly Paretta (Moore) is shocked to discover that no-one can remember her having a child, who had died in a plane crash. As she investigates she discovers an unusual conspiracy is afoot and that the death of her son may not have been an accident at all, and that the government may even be involved.

This started off as a bog standard thriller, with Moore playing the paranoid victim with expertise, but as it progressed things just got weirder and weirder until it just didn’t make any sense. Was there supposed to be something about aliens? I’m still not too sure, but I’ll definitely watch it again in the hope of learning something new.
