Never Forget (2008 )

I didn't know what to expect from this movie when I rented it today. I have noticed that Lou Diamond Phillips has been diversifying his acting roles rather than his past "cause" or "message" type movies, and he can actually act! I'm impressed. After a deluge of his past message/cause movies (that caused to form a feeling of dread for me when I'd see his name attached), I hesitated to try out some new movie rentals lately with his name on them, and have to say I found them entertaining and enjoyable. This one did not disappoint me (and the Westerns he's been in were good, too). The premise storyline seems hackneyed and simple, but it was more complex, and very well done. kept me guessing to the end as to who was the bad guy. The movie set was the woods, woods, and more woods, so to do a feature like this and keep me from hitting the Stop button. well, the movie was intense and kept me interested. The one item that I found to be a bit out of place was the scene with arterial blood spurting (knocked a star off for this since I thought it cheapened the film). I think that could have been left out, but perhaps it was left in for gore fans.

If you're looking for a deep kind of gory thriller, this wouldn't fall into that category. This is more of an intellectual guessing type thriller that exceeded any expectation I had upon renting it. It's not a big blockbuster, but I'd recommend giving it a watch!
