Unforgettable (2017)
After a dark romantic history, Julia is thrilled to have a new loving fiance. But his ex-wife, Tessa, is barely coping with the end of the marriage when she hears the news. As she falls apart, she’s prepared to go to any lengths to break up the relationship and get her man back.
Rosario Dawson (The LEGO Batman Movie) stars as Julia, while the role of the evil ex is played by Katherine Heigl. Geoff Stults plays David – he can also be seen in the war movie 12 Strong.
Critic site RogerEbert.com says: “Slick, glossy and radiating juicy villainy, it knows exactly what kind of movie it is and goes for it with giddy abandon.”
