It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The movie is based on a very real problem that is out there. People profiting of other peoples hurt and desires. Of course the normal way to help one self is harder to walk and it's tough to have to wait. But if you take a shortcut, you shouldn't be too surprised if there are some consequences.That being said, I'm not saying that people have it coming or they deserve what might happen to them. I'm saying, be cautious and maybe this movie will make you think before you do something "shady" or engage on something that looks that way. The movie is heightened obviously, but it's decent and has enough tension to keep you attached

*** Spoiler Alert *** This is my first ever review - I am writing this to save you from WASTING 90 minutes of your life as my wife and I did! What a complete piece of trash and HUGE insult to my integrity as a human being!! If you want to be an armchair director and yell at your TV - this is your movie!! Absurd scenes of violence and car chases that even a high schooler would have negotiated better!! The problem is in the last 15 minutes or so of the movie. Everything is really good up to that point. You know things are up but do not know exactly what, great entertainment. But then as the plot begins to unfold, it turns to total crap and bunch of ridiculous plot turns and a retaliation from Phillippe that is so absurd at every turn that you really feel the insult to your integrity like no movie I have ever seen. Cusack and Phillippe - I will be much more careful before I EVER watch one of your movies again, why did you even bother???

I will give this 5/10 just because, but as a film i did not love this especially the screen writing, the plot of the film was amazing but it was so predictable, and the ending made it worse, again because of the writing. The guy was locked in the trunk of a car with a dead police officer, doesn't realize he has a gun until the very end, despite him banging so hard which can only mean he wanted to get out desperately, therefore there is no way he would have forgotten about the end. Another thing that really put me off is the fact that the little girl was in the plot all along, at her age, she should have known better, and yet when they discovered she was in, they still told her they'd take her home, which nobody in his right mind would... so yeah, great plot, poor writing. Isn't there a TV show with a slightly similar plot?

"This scam that you're talking about might be true but it also might not be so you have to keep looking for her." Shannon (Lefevre) and Steven (Phillippe) are Americans who have traveled to another country in order to pick up the daughter they have adopted. The girl loves them instantly and the parents feel the same way. When they wake up one morning and find her gone they run to the police who tell them about a common adoption scam that is being run. The new parents decide to take it upon themselves to get her back anyway they can. This is a movie that I wasn't expecting a whole lot from but was pleasantly surprised at how much I like this. The movie was tense and gripping almost the entire time. The emotion of parents having their child taken really helps you get sucked in and you are right there with them hoping they find the girl. While it is sometimes predictable it doesn't distract from the intensity and I liked this quite a but. Overall, a gripping movie about a real problem in the world that I recommend watching. I give this a B.
