Predictable and very similar to the movie that aired a week before it.

Full disclosure, I turned this movie off as soon as I figured out what was happening....because a very similar plot was used in a movie that premiered the Friday before this one. Literally the role was the same and actually the clues were the same because I figured out the villain very early in the movie due to a certain character's behavior. It was obvious. "Twists" in Lifetime movies are so rare that what I guessed was happening was 100% right and the movie played it very straight with not even a hint of a twist. This movie aired as part of Stranger Danger month, and SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER even that was misdirection.

Now I can be a cynic when it comes to these movies, but I do give credit when it's due. There have been some good ones this year, but this isn't one of them. It's watchable but nothing special. I give the movie props because the sisters truly looked like sisters and there was a sweet and touching family scene before Hannah got taken.
