Here, as with a Rambo sequel, the text is clear while the subtext (on race, gender and geopolitics) remains murky and misconceived. The action, however, is very well done.

What could be a credible suspense plot is squandered on a new mother suddenly exhibiting Jason Bourne's superhuman strategic talents for fighting and chasing.

Rated: 5/10

We're talking about a retarded and primative police force in North Africa where the Muzzies live who are set in the Middle Ages. So the mother, who is regarded as a second class citizen, has to fight not only the criminals but the authorities too. But the film is well presented and exciting and we're all rooting for the mother to get her baby back against all the odds.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The story is half prejudice half evil and the woman is like batman without the cape. She does serious damage like the poor woman version of Jack Ryan. Just as believable, when you think about it. Haha! Crazy ride.

Some people have compared this to a gender-reversed taken. The difference? IMO Taken was a good movie. It gripped you and the main character's super skills seemed believable in movie-land. This movie doesn't pull that off. The main character's role was poorly written (or poorly acted). She acts like an idiot taking her baby to a third-world country for a vacation. And not a stay-in-a-5star-hotel vacation, a let's immerse ourselves in shady-looking localities vacation. Forget kidnappers, hasn't she heard of germs and other health risks? The baby is kidnapped within the first 20 minutes or so and then the story is on pause as the main character turns into a female Rambo and runs through and over endless interconnected dwellings. (Angela Dixon can't pull this off. She just does not manage to look physically tough enough.) Eventually she tracks down the guy holding the baby, (Velibor Topić looking really good) and all's well that ends well. I've been writing the review while the movie was playing in the background. That should tell you how engrossing (NOT) it was.

Ugh. Plodding. Predictable "man on Fire" take off with the mother in Denzel Washington's role basically.
