How sad is this?

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

A new mother that obviously has some medical issues, goes on holiday alone to a Muslim country. It looks like a cheap holiday, based on the taxi used. The troubles start from there... Who does that?!!!!The plot has holes the size of the ones in the ozone layer!I only watched it because the chase was mildly entertaining and wanted to see how more messy the plot would get.The acting is not great, direction is ok, but hard to work with this story line! The only really bad movie I watched to the end. Straight to video trash - in this case, dumped on Netflix, who are not doing themselves a favour, having crap like this on their list.

This gripping movie is available on a Rank DVD. This movie would normally rate close to ten with me, but I can really give it only a 7/10 rating, due to an image break-up which should have been corrected before the DVD went on sale.This film casts Peter Sellers in a character role as a particularly sadistic gangster who is brought to book by perennial loser Richard Todd (also cast way against type and also delivering most vividly and convincingly). The support line-up is particularly strong too. Location lensing with low-key, noirish camera-work by Christopher Challis also helps. The only other wrong note (aside from the image break-up described above) is sounded by the usually ultra-reliable musician and composer, John Barry, whose music score for this movie is often totally inappropriate.

An entertaining action thriller flick worth a look on DVD!A mum with her baby visits a foreign land. When on the beach her baby is kidnapped which is unlucky. What is lucky is that our mum is a mix of super woman, wonder woman and atomic blond rolled into one.All the females in the picture are angels, yet mostly all the males are demons. That aside there is plenty of action including this wonder woman running through market streets, climbing all over the place plus her complicated life and relationships intersperse the often fast and furious drama.She will never give up trying to find her baby; but will she succeed in getting the child back?!Worthy of a 6 and a half rounded up so:7/10.

Single mom and former FBI agent Lisa Brennan (Angela Dixon) opts to take a vacation to relieve some stress in Morocco with her baby. The film opens with a story about child abduction so as we watch the film, we know it is only a matter of time...say 15 minutes. Lisa uses her training to follow the kidnappers taking out a few people along the way, going Liam Neeson all over everyone, making her wanted by local authorities who she may have "Liam-ed" a bit.The film was classic formula writing and is a me-too type of kidnapping rescue film except it involves a strong female lead. Dixon gives us a credible performance in a not too credible script. We really get the gut feeling of a determined mom.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
