UNFORGETTABLE (2017)

UNFORGETTABLE tries to be more than just another movie about a crazy person who stalks their ex's new significant other. It's about a crazy person (TESSA) who makes sure her ex's (DAVID) new significant other (JULIA) is stalked by her own crazy ex (MICHAEL). The ambition doesn't stop there. It takes almost an hour for the "Making everyone turn on the protagonist through lies and self-inflicted injuries" mind games to begin. The movie wanted to establish the story and characters first before. It doesn't work, because: A) The movie skips the moment where JULIA and TESSA meet. JULIA & DAVID's engagement encourages TESSA to come up with her plan, but she was obviously already crazy. There's no build-up and no real triggering moment. B) The passive-aggressive conversations lack wit. C) Thrillers (even the slow ones) require a certain amount of thrilling moments, and all this movie has to offer is a jump scare, a fake-out and a bunch of "TESSA's behavior is disturbing" moments that just aren't shocking in 2017.
