A review of the streaming film “The Unforgivable”
This story started out in 2009 as a British miniseries written by Sally Wainwright and titled “Unforgiven”. Then, in 2012, it was turned into a film and transposed to the United States as a starring vehicle for Sandra Bullock who was a co-producer.Bullock plays a woman, released from prison after 20 years for killing a cop, who is determined to track down her much younger sister who was adopted after the crime. It is slow and serious, verging on grim, but Bullock acts against type to give an impressive performance and the viewer awaits an explanation and a resolution.
