Bob Thomas Associated Press This tricky stuff requires the cinematic sleight-of-hand of a Hitchcock. Dahl doesn't quite fill the bill. Jan 17, 2018 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times In the annals of cinematic goofiness, Unforgettable deserves a place of honor. This is one of the most convoluted, preposterous movies I've seen. Rated: 1.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Susan Wloszczyna USA Today A B-grade murder mystery with a sci-fi twist. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a decent-enough thriller that feels like it could (and should) be better. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid 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. Rated: 3/4 Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Creative Loafing 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. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 26, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Bob R Quite interesting premise. Kept me watching. Would have preferred a different ending and more work for Linda. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Kyle J Suspending belief is tolerable, but the ending is predictable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Pleaseeee, i want to see Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review paul r 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Reasonably enjoyable film but a bit complicated for me to follow Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
