*One knows going in that “Unforgettable” touches on a subjects that are rehashed too many times—jealousy, envy, betrayal, spousal abuse, psychotic ex, cat fights—but fortunately for “Unforgettable” moviegoers will be drawn into this thriller anyway.

Directed by Denise Di Novi, the suspense mounts when Julia (Rosario Dawson) moves in with fiancé David (Geoff Stults). His ex-wife Tessa (Katherine Heigl) goes bonkers and plots to get rid of her.

Unfortunately, three-quarters into the film, the story starts to fall apart, and the desperate attempt at hot sex in a hotel room or a delayed 9/11 call do not help the holes in the narrative.
