Storyline

In the US, a child goes missing every 40 seconds. You never think it will happen to you. Until it does. Alone and scared, Karla Dyson (Halle Berry) is unwilling to leave the fate of her son's life in someone else's hands. When she catches a glimpse of the abductors speeding away, she decides to fight back. In a heart pounding race against time, Karla begins a high speed pursuit and will stop at nothing to save her son's life.

User Reviews

Worse Than Lots of Bad Things

Shocking! In real life, this situation would have been sorted out within 3 or 4 minutes.

Atrocious acting, atrocious story, atrocious directing, atrocious plot.

In other words, if you want to get a new TV, this is the film to watch because you WILL punch the screen in anger and frustration.

Avoid, if possible.
