Goofs

Karla drove what appears to be an early-2010s model Chrysler Town and Country minivan while the antagonists drove a mid-1980s Ford Mustang GT. During chases, the film implies the Mustang is faster although in reality both cars have about the same performance, and given its age and apparent mediocre maintenance, the minivan likely accelerates considerably faster.

Quotes

Karla Dyson: Let me tell you something, as long as my son is in that car, I will not stop. Wherever you go I will be right behind you.

If this is how kids get kidnapped - cause of stupid parents

This is the worst recreation of a parents actions to a kidnapping. Her thoughtlessness got him kidnapped, there's no reason she faced the way she did. I had my kid at parks and playgrounds, but you can still keep an eye out. Sure kids can wander away, but this wasn't the case, it was all her. Then her bad pursuit got them to get away, there's reviews that stated she didn't stop the kidnapper car cause they showed her a (spoiler) knife!! She was right behind them on a slow moving ramp, she has a van pull in front of them and block them. The knife scene was much later. Don't she know how to use a van. Her frantic actions were understandable but the way she pulled it off was pathetic, the writing was really bad. People without common sense would enjoy this.
