Until the very
last moments of Joseph Ruben's spooky suspense thriller,
viewers will question who's who in the us-versus-them
conundrum. We have but one hint: "It's not about the
children." But as local police, the feds, and other
unknowns follow Telly (Julianne Moore), a young mother
who refuses to forget the death of her 9-year-old son
Sam, it's clear that the children are a hot-button
issue.
While it's fishy
enough that nobody--not even Telly's own husband
(Anthony Edwards)--seems to remember Sam, and the plane
crash she claims killed him was never reported in the
newspapers, it's a question of whose story to believe.
And Moore, the frantic mother with madness flickering in
her eyes, may simply be delusional, or so her shrink
(Gary Sinise) says. But when she finds another grieving
parent, Ash (Dominic West), whose daughter died in the
same accident, she now has a partner in conspiracy
theory. Together, Ash and Telly flee through the damp
alleyways beneath the Brooklyn Bridge where steam
escapes from potholes and police searchlights penetrate
the gothic fog. Somebody knows something about the
children, and "they" want Ash and Telly to forget. THE
FORGOTTEN springs into an action-adventure race for the
truth, with surprising special effects, exciting jolts,
and bird's-eye camera shots on ominous geometric
patterns in the urban landscape keeping this mystery in
fifth gear!!
