This is an excellent murder mystery/thriller that will keep you interested from start to finish. The cast is uniformly good and the script very well-written. Everything about it is way above average for a TV-movie. At first it seems as though it will be a standard courtroom drama, but after the set-up it goes in an entirely different direction and keeps you guessing the whole time. Watching this movie is like curling up with a good book on a dark and stormy night. I recommend it highly.

This is a very good movie. It kept my attention. I would recommend this movie to those who like mysteries.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN is based on the best seller by Philip Margolin; another example of the book being better than the movie.
However, this miniseries is effectively produced and features some good performances.
Brooke Shields does okay a defense attorney who finds herself defending a corporate giant on a serious murder charge. Scott Glenn is the client who we know is guilty and has a horrifying past as well. Lou Diamond Phillips is the DA who wants to put Glenn away, and Marilu Henner is the cop from Glenn's past who tries to help Phillips.
It's all familiar territory but there are enough twists and suspenseful moments to make it worthwhile viewing.

I know there are very few movies that live up to the books, and this one doesnt do it. But, it comes close. The book is one of the best Ive ever read, so that definitely makes this a good review. I had figured out the book when I read it, so the movie was no mystery to me, but it will be a good one for someone who hasnt read the book. I also dont normally like Brooke Shields, but this is the rare exception to the rule.

I have to say this movie was on in the middle of the night and usually a tv movie that comes on late is just fodder to put a person to sleep. But this movie was crazy. Crazy in such a good way I was more than willing to stay up until 2 in the morning just to see what happened. The acting of the characters is great in this movie and the suspense is amazing, at every turn you are trying to figure out if martin darius is guilty, and as it goes along it gives a few great clues and scenes that take a person totally off guard which is why it was worth the watch. I ordered the movie, as well as teh book. This was a great watch :) anyone who enjoys mystery and suspense will love this ;) I did.

This is entertaining and holds a person's attention. There are plenty of unexpected twists, making it a good story.

I wasn't able to watch this in one viewing. It just didn't hold my interest. But I finally made my way to the end. Everyone in this movie did a decent job acting, except for Brooke Shields. She again showed why she hasn't had any major roles outside of Blue Lagoon and Pretty Baby.

Gone But Not Forgotten is a first rate mystery thriller. Brooke Shields as well as the rest of the cast did a great job. The screenplay written by WGA award nominated writer Steven H. Berman is top notch. Go get it now, highly reccomended.

I thought that this might be a tolerable B movie. But it was the worst movie I have seen in a number of years. Scott Glenn, who does have talent, does not prove it in this piece of work. This was a pathetic attempt at producing a murder mystery. Don't waste your time. Play solitare, or take a walk, or even, open a book. Do NOT encourage the making of REALLY BAD movies.
