Review of The Forgiven

The Forgiven (2017)
5/10
When good men do nothing
2 June 2021
Eric Bana has given a powerhouse performance, but I can't rate this movie higher because it sends the wrong message. The Archbishop Tutu character is a walking and talking mop, who anyone and everyone uses to wipe the floor with. It is not usually necessary to be aggressive and violent, although sometimes that can't be avoided, but a person in his position is expected to have the cajones to stand his ground when his beliefs are ridiculed and his ideals are mocked of. Apparently, Tutu missed the call when they were handing out balls.
