Unforgettable (2017)

Unforgettable is precisely what this psycho thriller is not with Katherine Heigl playing an uptight 'Bree Van de Kamp' type ex-wife determined to ruin her ex-husband's new partner's life by browsing through her stolen mobile phone, wearing the dresses she likes, catfishing her former abusive partner, accusing her of violence, and other forgettable midday movie stuff like that.

The Ugly Truth (2009)

Katherine Heigl is a morning news show producer with integrity but low ratings and Gerard Butler is a crude, politically incorrect sharer of 'hard truths' who attracts huge numbers of viewers (basically he says that women are to blame for their own lovelessness; that they need to try harder to appeal to men), and of course these two opposites butt heads but pretty soon he's got her trying harder to appeal to men, having public orgasms, becoming willing to be scrutinized and groped and dressed in lingerie that men want to put in their mouths and swearing like a trooper, so a romance becomes possible between the two.

Under Siege 2 Dark Territory (1995)

A hostage situation in the Nakatomi Plaza was the first iteration of the Die Hard formula, since used in an airport (Die Hard 2), in a boys school (Toy Soldiers), aboard a boat (Under Siege), on a plane (Air Force One, Non-stop), in The White House (Olympus Has Fallen), in a neo-nazi clubhouse (Green Room) and here, in an Under Siege sequel about as cinematic as a MacGyver episode, the formula is applied to a transAmerican train and it is again up to Steven Seagal's unruffled former Navy Seal cook and his niece (a pre-comedy career Katherine Heigel) to sneak around and thwart the bad guys' diabolical nuclear plans.

Killers (2010)

It takes about fifteen minutes for Ashton Kutcher's charm and Katherine Heigl's neuroses to become irritating in this domestic spy comedy which plays like a D-grade True Lies.
