Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

MattyGibbs I have seen some preposterous films in my time but Taken for Ransom/Final Recourse really is up there as one of the silliest. Even with the ridiculous story line this still fails to be sufficiently entertaining. The plot tries to be clever with numerous twists but they are so contrived and unconvincing that rather than being impressed you are left irritated. Everything about the film is amateurish, the acting, the dialogue, the script. Terri Polo fails to convince as the lead although to be fair to her she was the best one in this and even the best actress in the world would have struggled in her role. The bad guys were bad caricatures and the supporting cast especially the husband were wooden. The ending really does defy belief. It is so ridiculous and laughable that it falls into the so bad it's good category and the only reason I didn't rate this film a 1. I can't recommend this film to anyone other than those looking for an a laughably ludicrous film to watch. Quite how this currently has a rating of 5.6 is beyond my comprehension. Just awful.

atvbballrob Taken for Ransom/ Final Recourse is a thrilling drama about a wife (actress Tio Polo playing Brooke) who is driving her young son and gets into a car accident that results in the son's death. Brook then enters a deep depression as she can't get over being responsible for his death. She becomes unproductive at work and eventually is toxic for her young daughter and husband, who are already going through enough mourning their loss. Booke later get's kidnapped and held for ransom, until a couple of unexpected twists take the movie from good to great. Overall, the movie had the perfect amount of unpredictability and drama. I highly recommend it.

wes-connors Over the opening credits, a woman appears to be running for her life. She turns out to be multi-millionaire mom Teri Polo (as Brooke Holton). Following a tragedy for which she blames herself, Ms. Polo takes comfort in pills, alcohol and cigarettes. Loving husband Matt Socia (as Albert Fuentes) and tightly-clothed co-worker Tia Carrere (as Michelle Gaines) are worried. Polo goes through professional psychoanalysis, but it doesn't work. She makes bad decisions at work, burns breakfast and drunkenly drops her birthday cake on the lawn. Her stupor also makes Polo vulnerable to stalking kidnappers..."Final Recourse" aka "Taken for Ransom" almost works. Watching it a second time will reveal the story's breaking point – a point-of-view error at about the 20 minute mark; listen for the line, "Rats leaving the sinking ship," and the cocking of a gun. Oddly, there are a couple of places where a little extra editing would have made a scene like this fairly consistent with the ending. Still, the basics of an engaging story are there. Most engrossing is the plight of Polo and younger victim Luke Eberl (as William "Will" Graves) in a deserted gymnasium. Directed by Barbara Stepansky, they are quite captivating.***** Final Recourse/ Taken for Ransom (12/16/13) Barbara Stepansky ~ Teri Polo, Matt Socia, Lucas Elliot Eberl, Chazz Palminteri

Ronnie Mark I enjoy a good psychological thriller. This one has it all: suspense, challenging plot twists, good writing that keeps you guessing every step of the way.The ending was interesting and tied all the other parts of the movie together.The acting was excellent, and the dialogue keeps you on the edge of your seat.So sit back, grab the bucket of popcorn, and wait for the thrills to start.The movie has a great deal of adrenaline rushes. And so often, what you think, is not.When they disclose at the end of the movie the who's whos, many will be surprised and shocked.So get your blanket out, stay warm, and enjoy the movie.Definitely worth your time to see.
