Margaret Hinxman Daily Telegraph (UK) The film makes the mistake of wanting to he a bit of everything: tense, shocking, funny, old-fashioned, and morally correct. Mar 16, 2020 Full Review David Robinson Financial Times Disquietingly ugly and unpleasant. Mar 16, 2020 Full Review Michael McNay Guardian A thoroughly nasty bit of work. Mar 16, 2020 Full Review Christopher Hudson The Spectator Joan Collins and James Booth are unconvincing even on this low level; and the best talent, Sinead Cusack, is thrown away in a minor part. Mar 17, 2020 Full Review Dilys Powell Sunday Times (UK) Alternately risible and nauseating. Mar 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Father of an abducted and murdered schoolgirl kidnaps the prime suspect who was released by police and holds the beaten man in the cellar of his pub. Pretty good film where the tension builds as more and more evidence points to the kidnapping. A notable takeaway is one really must prepare a contingency when best laid plans fall apart at the seams. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Family makes an ill-conceived attempt at kidnapping and justice after their child is killed with the most likely suspect being released by police due to lack of evidence. A disaster for all concerned. Worth a look; sensationalist British thriller proves criminal activity should best be left to criminals. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A family traps a potential rapist in their basement, much banality ensues Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Unpleasant and violent though competent vigilante thriller from Carry On producer Peter Rogers. Joan Collins phones in her usual lazy, disinterested, graceless performance whilst the rest of the cast do their best with a script that attempts to deal with serious issues - child molestation, grief and the emotional complications of revenge but it's done in such over-the-top bad taste that the seriousness can't be taken seriously. Should appeal to Sun readers especially. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
