Courtney K movie-wise it's just okay; i found this recommendation on an online forum & had no idea it was based on an actual true story until I was looking for reviews & saw the documentary/wiki articles. the actual story of Colleen's kidnapping is absolutely disgusting, heartwrenching, & almost unbelievable. the movie hardly even touches the surface - it's really quite mellow. the movie almost seems to be Janice's story & not Colleen's - which is fine, but I think I would recommend the documentary over this. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie was very slow. It wasn’t until close to the end that it actually got interesting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Mohamed G The film featured the psychological aspects of the victim and the impact of the event on her. Presenting Colleen Stan's story in a generally acceptable dramatic setting, those who watched the documentry will find that more terrible things have happened. I enjoyed the movie and liked the look of the cast and how they were trying to bring the original picture of kidnappers closer, Good movie and worth a watch.
