Taken too Long To Explain At Any Time **1/2, 30 May 2009

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Although this is a true story and the victim showed her mettle, there is really nothing basically outstanding in this film which seems to drag on and on.

A much older LeVar Burton does shine as the police officer, a friend of the victim's family, who helps lead the way to her eventual freedom.

A nightmare begins when a recently accepted to college young lady is kidnapped at random in a parking lot by a lunatic, abused by his father, living with a fanatically religious grandmother, and arrested over 20 times for a variety of offenses. The guy is totally off the wall and kidnapped our unfortunate girl as he was lonely.

Ready to kill her several times, she was able to talk her way out of it and you see that the guy may be falling for her until the very last scene-the usual come out and put your hands up.

When you think of it, as difficult as this movie is, it is really routine.
