Nim T It is refreshing to see Ryan Reynolds in a different movie than Deadpool. I think he did the best he can portraying as a father that desperately tries to find his lost daughter, while also suffering from guilt and the blame from his wife. The changing of time frames, along with the presence of Rosario Dawson and Scott Speedman made the movie bizarre to watch. Are police figures that are portrayed supposed to be emotionless? Even the actress that played Cassandra was emotionless with no soul until towards the end. There should have been a clear explanation of how the girl was abducted, or else the audience would be puzzled how all these events happened.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Dark subject, some lame moments, some clever ones. Well acted Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Audience Member This film is about a girl who gets abducted and is placed into a human trafficking ring and the lengths that her father and the police go to to get her back from her captors. Overall due to the non linear structure, Reynold's performance, and the emotional impact throughout, this movie is like a more indie version of the highly acclaimed Prisoners and despite the unsatisfying ending, an enjoyable experience that had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Robson C Matthew para sua camionete numa loja de tortas à beira da estrada para comprar uma para sua filha, que está no banco de trás. Quando ele volta, ela havia desaparecido. Oito anos depois, novas pistas surgem sobre ela quando a polícia investiga uma rede de pedofilia. Atom Egoyan pega um tema difícil e consegue construir um bom suspense. Egoyan não monta seu filme linearmente. Passado e presente se sobrepõem, o que pode causar um pouco de confusão ao público. Já que o público sabe deste o início que a menina está viva, ao contrário dos personagens do filme, esta edição não linear serve para causar a mesma confusão. Ryan Reynolds sai-se muito bem no papel do pai, revoltado principalmente porque a polícia o considera um suspeito. Outro ponto interessante que podemos dividir o filme pela importância que os personagens recebem. Assim, pelo menos do início, o protagonismo é da polícia, principalmente da personagem de Rosario Dawson. Do meio para o fim, o papel de Reynolds assume o protagonismo. Kevin Durand está bem como o pedófilo sequestrador, mas acho que ele exagera nos maneirismos do seu personagem, transformando-no quase em uma caricatura, e não em alguém perigoso para uma criança ou adolescente. Mas tudo isso é embalado em um ar de suspense até o final do filme (apesar de que acho que a resolução seja um pouco apressada, depois de tudo que acontece). Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Jerod S It's unfortunate the way this film was put together, because the angst of Reynolds and Enos losing their daughter and knowing that she was still somehow alive, was lost in the crafting. Durand was creepy and could've been used more. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
