Synopsis: Jack Bishop lives the life of every man’s dream with a beautiful wife and a happy, healthy daughter, Toby. He has the career he always wanted and a loving home in a peaceful Texas border town. But... Jack Bishop lives the life of every man’s dream with a beautiful wife and a happy, healthy daughter, Toby. He has the career he always wanted and a loving home in a peaceful Texas border town. But it is no coincidence that Jack’s life seems perfect. His past hides a black secret, one he hides from his family, one he hides from himself.

When Toby goes missing, Jack knows his past has come back to haunt him. He also knows the only way he can find her is to use the powers of his long forgotten faith, La Santa Muerte, protectors of the sinner, the worshippers of the dead.

Accompanied by the insecure newly-appointed sheriff and a pair of wary FBI agents, Jack’s search takes him deep into his past, to a psychic who visualizes Jack’s secret in terrifying detail, to the squalid barrios and seediest brothels in Mexico City’s underbelly. But the power of the La Santa Muerte is stronger than he ever imagined, as it reaches out to touch his family and reveals an even darker and unexpected web of lies and deceit. --© Official Site [More]

A stylish, yet dull thriller that doesn't have enough faith in its audience's intelligence. It's ultimately forgettable with waning suspense and intrigue.

Contains a plot full of twists that can be seen coming from some distance.

Not Forgotten is weighted down by obvious creative choices that mar what might have played out like a telenovela episode of Twin Peaks.

Casting its south-of-the-border setting as a dingy, nightmarish hellhole of hookers and red neon lights, Not Forgotten is a feature-length anti-tourism campaign for Mexico.

Not effective on any level.

From the start, it’s clear there’s a riddle to solve...I’m just not sure you’ll care about the solution.

It’s a cliche-addled, nonsensical bit of piffle that would rightfully have vanished into the deepest recesses of the used-DVD dollar bin if not for the fortunate casting of television's Mentalist, Simon Baker.

Time for everyone to realize that when Simon Baker is the male lead in a horror movie, it will most likely be aggressively mediocre.

A movie that's more convoluted than satisfying.

The opposite of a good thriller, it gets less interesting with each scene.

Not Forgotten overcooks just about every ingredient in its narrative chile con queso.
