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

Movie kept my interest right to the end!

Halle Berry did a good job, There is Nothing to hate here other than the kidnappers! If your child is kidnapped you will do anything to get them back! If you find yourself shouting out what she should be doing and not doing to get Frankie back the movie did its job! The lesson learned: make sure your child is always attended to!
