Brief synopsis of The Forgotten
What if you were told that every moment you experienced and every memory you held dear never happened? Telly Paretta is tormented by the memory of her eight year old son Sam's death in a plane crash 14 months earlier. While trying to work through her grief, and her subsequent estrangement from her husband, she is informed by her psychiatrist that she is suffering from delusion, that her son never existed and that she is fabricating memories.

As the director of Sleeping with the Enemy and The Stepfather, Joseph Ruben knows a thing or two about suspense. So it's surprising that this psychological thriller has no real tension, relying instead on a handful of ruthlessly effective jolts to convey its air of unseen menace. In another of her tormented mother roles, Julianne Moore plays a woman grieving over the death of her eight-year-old son. Told by her psychiatrist (Gary Sinise) that the boy never existed, she's stunned to find all evidence of the child has disappeared and sets out to prove that she's not delusional. While Moore works hard, her performance is undermined by a weak script and ridiculous storyline, which veers from X-Files-style conspiracy paranoia to melodramatic farce. Had Ruben's direction been stronger, the film might have been salvaged. Unfortunately, despite some attractive cinematography, the overall construction is too lazy to paper over the many plot holes.
