The Unforgivable: release date, cast, trailer for Sandra Bullock Netflix movie
The film takes its inspiration from a surprising source.
Back in 2018, Sandra Bullock starred in one of Netflix's most successful films yet in Bird Box, and now the Oscar-winning actress is back with another new film for the streamer.
This time around, Bullock plays the lead in crime thriller The Unforgiveable – which follows a recently released convict as she attempts to reconnect with her younger sister, who has been adopted by another family.
And if that premise sounds a little familiar to fans of UK drama, it's because the film is actually a remake of Sally Wainwright's ITV drama Unforgiven – which aired in 2009 and starred Suranne Jones in the lead role.
Read on for all you need to know about The Unforgiveable.
