The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

SPOILERS! Forget and Forgive is a movie I hope to forget but will never forgive for the 2 hours of my time wasted! Unfortunately for the viewer, the characters and acting were just good enough to keep you watching and waiting for some grand revelations at the end, but nothing happened that tied in with the build-up throughout the movie. It is never explained why they keep showing a younger, uniformed woman (the main character) walking in the woods, seemingly traumatized, obviously from the past before she became a detective, or why she never went back to her hometown for 17yrs. Her husband mentions that she wanted total separation from her past as if something traumatic had happened, but we never find out anything, just meet her dad there briefly toward the end of the movie who is an ex cop and obviously someone she trusts with a young girl she is trying to protect (yet she doesn't seem to care about her own daughter). All the snippets and hints from her past never lead to anything. After her amnesia they slowly uncover her recent past, all of it revealing a selfish, corrupt, adulterous, crooked cop who was a terrible mother on top of it. What cop is going to totally ignore her very young teen-aged daughter and allow her unlimited freedom, including having her boyfriend sleep overnight in her room at will and going on a spring break trip with him, and the protective dad just lets it all happen because she "talked him into it"? It was just absurd, especially since she is desperately trying to protect a girl her daughters age from being sexually exploited and hunted for having witnessed a murder. They never give us even an inkling as to why the marriage fell apart or why she was sleeping with her partner who was even more corrupt than her. Then on top of it all, he says he loves her several times and has tears in his eyes when she tells him she is going to give her marriage a chance, and then within the next hour is telling the crime boss to kill her and her whole family, and then she actually hesitates to shoot him afterward! What?? The whole movie was just innuendo and false buildup with nothing explained or made sense of. They could have easily made this a decent movie as it had good actors and an interesting story line. It's almost as if they went out of their way to make it as stupid as they could.

Caught this Canadian thriller "Forget and forgive" on TV because I liked the premise. And the film manages to keep your interest for quite a long time. Still there's a strange thing: If the perpetrators really were afraid that she still remembers, why are they doing what they are doing? Well, more can't be said about this, without making a spoiler.Good acting performances all over, I would say. Elizabeth Rohm does this difficult role well. It was quite fun to see that she was really not a good mother before she got amnesia from a beating and left for dead. Afterwards she gets to now that her decisions back then was something she wouldn't agree with now after the amnesia.Amnesia is very difficult, and for us to comprehend even more difficult. As such this is an interesting topic on film. What annoys here is the lack of understanding around her, but I buy that the situation before the amnesia, which wasn't the best.An OK film, which is good, until it goes a bit stale, and ends up as a 5/10.

I found this movie so-so. Good performances from Neil Napier and Tygh Runyan. Both had some terrific moments and played them well. I especially liked Vivien Douglas as the daughter. Her mother over-played by Elizabeth Rohm evidently was not a good mother before she obtained amnesia from a beating and left for dead.Most of the film is her trying to get back her memory. Along the way she is a pain in the butt. Prying into everybody's past, without any regrets. She continues to alienate her daughter by her cold behavior. I did not find any compassion in all that she hurt along the way and was hoping she'd disappear.It also bothers me that in most LMN films our poor dear heroine gathers strength by kicking the men in the groin. Next step they take out their cell phones. Almost always the direction in all these lady films. Has anyone bothered to kick a female in the groin? Would be interesting. No such luck in this mess.
