*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

TV movie about a girl who is kidnapped in broad daylight who manipulates her capture until she can get away. Another based on a true story tale that follows both the girl and her captor and the investigation into her disappearance. Adequately made with good performances, the film suffers in that it doesn't really strive to be much more than it is. It's a TV movie of the week and nothing more. The result is it plays like any number of similar movies even though at times it spins a tale that isn't run of the mill. This could have been so much better had the producers not used the "TV Formula Machine" on the story and let the stories own power speak for itself, I mean isn't that what drew them to the story in the first place? In all honesty unless you've seen very few movies odds are you've seen better.
