Audience Member Kinda boring but wrapped up the end well. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Audience Member Nice to see Van der Beek in a bad-guy role & Burton giving such a strong performance - as all the supporting actors do. A slightly better than average made-for-TV flick. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Poorly Acted Film About a Kidnapping. There are very few redeeming points in this 'made for T.V' drama about a high school senior who was kidnapped from a parking lot in Nebraska back in 2001. Although the topic of this film is a fairly serious one, it is a huge disappointment in terms of writing, direction and acting. The movie starts out as a teenage high school drama, and ever so slowly and painfully gets worse and worse as it goes along. The dialogue is unbelievably and at best, poorly delivered. The most intense scene was a mind boggling cluster of bad lines, and inane acting, that it ruins any drama that should have been part of such a horrendous act. Every part of this movie dissolves into your typical 'straight to video' movie. 1/5 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad for a low budget film and the story was pretty much spot on, maybe too spot on. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member WOW......DREADFULL......POINTLESS.....SO SO SO DREADFULL.... i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is such a really pointless movie 2 watch its such an awful movie 2 watch there is nothing special, good about this movie its such a really dreadful movie 2 watch..........AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS ITS SUCH A REALLY DREADFUL MOVIE 2 WATCH......its got a good soundtrack throughout this movie which is probably the best thing about this movie......its such an awful movie 2 watch........its got good car chases throughout this movie but this is such an awful movie 2 watch its such an absolultey dreadful movie 2 watch its so pointless movie 2 watch its nothing good 2 watch its such an awful movie 2 watch there is nothing good/special about this movie its such an awful dreadful movie 2 watch....... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Based on a true story. A thriller that follows the hunt for a kidnapped girl, Anne Slutti, who although forced to hide out in the wilderness of northern USA leaves clues as to their whereabouts for the police to track them down. Whilst the hunt is on the reality of being held captive, for what ever purpose the captor wants, and the punishment for not doing so, are harrowingly made clear. Frighteningly real in some places. The relationship between captor and captive is well delivered. The film does have a made for TV look about it and as such some of the horrific detail is toned down. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
