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.

User Reviews

Never again. Ruined for life.waste of money.

I was optimistic about this being good since Halle berry was starting. She did a great job playing a panicked mother but the storyline after the actual kidnapping event was extremely unrealistic. High speed police chases and tools being thrown at vehicles on the highway and nobody calls the cops? No traffic cams picked up on any of this? Highly unlikely. Save your money and don't go see this movie. There weren't enough good parts to make this a good movie to pay for and I no longer want to watch Halle berry movies in the future.
