Came out on Netflix and didn't hesitate to watch this kidnapping action thriller. The filming locations in Canada with their wild forest landscapes were amazing. They gave this thriller in addition an intriguing and mysterious touch.

It is a simply story mixed with suspense. The director made a good job and all the the actors too. Running time is perfect.

If you like this genre of movies don't miss the other Hollywood kidnapping thrillers The Call with Halle Berry, Cellular with Kim Basinger, Trapped or Panic Room with Julianne Moore.

I spent with my wife an entertaining evening.

Give it a try. 6/10.

Firstly this isn't gonna win any awards for originality. Twists are very predictable but fine. I'm sure some people are gonna nag about this and that. Some people fail to realize that it's just a movie, it's entertainment. Decent storyline, good acting, cinematography was great. I wasn't bored throughout at all. Jurnee Smolett was good as usual(loved her in 'Lovecraft Country'). The little girl was adorable. Everything was explained even if you saw it coming. The key most people lose is that you're not a professional movie critic so stop acting like one. If you don't like something, turn it off and move on and don't voice your other issues into your entertainment and you'll be fine, I promise.

This movie could have been very good because the cast and acting are solid, with excellent cinematography. The story is so ridiculous, however, that no one could ever believe it and dramas don't work well with stupid scripts. Allison Janney, who plays a former CIA agent, is always worth watching and so are the other actors even though their dialogue is fairly limited. Jurney Smollett also does fine given the poor script she has to work with. It is impossible to describe how absurd the story is without including too many spoilers, so I suggest seeing this if you are an Allison Janney fan with about an hour and forty-five minutes with nothing else to do.

It's an action thriller so I wasn't exactly expecting it to re-invent the wheel. I just wanted a decent popcorn flick with interesting characters and some action on the side.

I was actually pleasantly surprised. While not reinventing the genre, the movie definitely reinvigorates it. The characters development and the dynamic between the two women is very well written and the acting is exceptional for a movie of the genre.

Just when I thought I couldn't be surprised by the depth of Janney's acting, she knocks another one out of the park in a role I never would have expected her in.

Oh and for the ones who are having such a hard time "suspending disbelief" when they see "a senior citizen" kick two young guys into next week, ask yourself why you had no such issue while watching Keanu Reeves, a mere 3 years "younger" take a whole room full of armed younger guys in John Wick...

I had low expectations for this movie but Janney and Smollett acting carried this movie. So used to Janney playing wacky characters like in Mom or 10 things I hate about you so it was very hard to imagine Janney as a bad ass lead but she pulled it off so well. A serious role for Janney with a dash of her snarky humor mixed in.

For anyone that watches this movie but can't figure out where they recognize Smollett it might be as a child actor in Full House. Plot was told pretty well and kept me interested throughout the movie. I even liked the plot twist that I was not expecting. Definitely worth a watch.
