Goofs

One of only two states that are not divided into counties, Louisiana is made up of parishes (functionally identical to other states' counties). For the most part, this film gets this fact correct, i.e. the numerous references to Jefferson Parish. However, during the final scene of the film, one of the police cars is clearly and inappropriately marked "County Sheriff".

User Reviews

One of the worst movies I've seen

I've never yelled at a movie more than this. I literally made an account to tell anyone how bad this film is. No one acts like this if their kid is taken, she doesn't hit the car, she doesn't hit the people that took her kid. She had multiple chances to do so. Whoever wrote this script and directed this movie should never be able to work on a set ever again.
